2017 Map of Calf Creek

About this map

Calf Creek and its many intermittent tributaries define this high plains landscape in Campbell County, Wyoming. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage features named for local flora, families, and early activity, including Coal Mine Draw and Homestead Draw. These names provide a map of the land's historical utility, while a distinctive geological landmark known as The Rockpile stands out in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Water management is critical in this arid ranching country, evidenced by scattered stock ponds and catchments such as Williams Reservoir, Tharp Reservoir, and Corner Reservoir. Remote county routes like Hall Road and Collins Road provide the only significant access through this section of the Powder River Basin, where the topography transitions between the headwaters of Wildcat Creek and Hay Creek.
