About this map

Cross S School serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Powder River County during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages including East Fork Spring Creek, Slaughter Creek, and Cherry Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the eastern boundary. The Powder River itself marks the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, where the land transitions to a more level floodplain.

Evidence of ranching and land management is visible through numerous wells and several instances of a Drill Hole scattered across the township lines. The presence of a Radio Tower and long-reaching coulees like Deep Coulee and Short Creek illustrate a sparsely populated but active range. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns, showing how waterways like Mud Buffalo Creek and Sheep Creek define the local topography.
