2020 Map of Cluster Buttes NW

About this map

Box Elder Creek meanders through this portion of Dawson County, carving a complex network of drainage patterns across the high plains. This landscape is defined by the practical water management systems of the cattle country, featuring Milliron Reservoir Number 1 and Milliron Reservoir Number 2. These reservoirs, likely tied to local ranching operations, serve as focal points in an otherwise arid terrain dominated by elevation contours. The map reflects the organized land partitioning of the Public Land Survey System, specifically within Townships 16 and 17 North. Remote access to this area is facilitated by a sparse network of county routes, including Road 328 and Road 322, which follow the natural topography of the divides and draws.
