About this map

The Powder River meanders through a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and agricultural infrastructure in this early 1970s survey. Irrigation is central to the valley's character, evidenced by the Kendrick Canal tracing the contours above Clear Creek. The terrain is marked by the dramatic ridges of the Quarter Circle Hills and the complex erosional features known as the Breaks that flank the river valley.

Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the K Ranch and an adjacent Landing Strip, illustrating the scale of ranching operations in this portion of the northern plains. Water management is further documented through a series of artesian sources, including a Flowing Well and a Gaging Sta situated near the confluence of Cabin Creek. The map also captures the boundary between Sheridan Co and Campbell Co, where numerous drainages like Spotted Horse Creek and Waisner Draw feed into the central river system.
