About this map

Squaw Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape where the borders of Wyoming and Montana meet. The drainage pattern is the dominant geographic feature, defined by the extensive network of Cabin Creek and North Cabin Creek. The nomenclature of the draws and prongs suggests the historic utility of the land, with names like Sawmill Draw and Schoolhouse Prong hinting at early resource extraction and the social fabric of rural ranching life.

Remote and sparsely populated, the area is accessible primarily via Passaic Rd, which cuts through a network of seasonal watercourses including Trail Creek and Fence Creek. The map documents a rugged topography where numerous erosional features such as Green Draw, Tanney Draw, and Robling Draw shape the movement of water toward the larger creek systems, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Powder River Basin region during the early 21st century.
