1985 Map of Butch Reservoir

Water management in this arid environment is anchored by several small impoundments. The namesake Butch Reservoir is joined by Wren Reservoir and Juniper Reservoir, providing vital landmarks and resources for ranchers and land managers in a territory otherwise dominated by the natural contour of the land. This map captures the topography of the region before any significant modern alterations, focusing on the essential hydrological features that dictate the movement of livestock and wildlife across the Missouri River breaks.
