About this map

The Powder River carves through the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking the rugged boundary where Powder River County, Montana, meets the Wyoming border. This high-plains terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Rough Cr, Bradshaw Cr, and Trail Cr, which have sculpted the land into a series of ridges and valleys. Prominent landmarks such as Black Eagle Butte and the Spear Hills dominate the southern reaches, providing significant topographical relief above the surrounding draws.

Rural infrastructure is primarily limited to essential transport routes like Moorhead Rd and Highline Rd, which navigate the complex elevations. This survey captures a specific moment in the land-management history of the region, meticulously recording the township and range lines of t8s r47e and t9s r48e. The placement of Kroger Draw and Black Draw illustrates the characteristic erosional patterns of this portion of the Powder River Basin.
