2012 Map of Dead Horse Lake

About this map

Bitter Cr and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this stretch of the Wyoming high plains in Campbell County. The drainage patterns, including Quarter Circle Prong Bitter Cr and Coal Cr, reveal a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow and the industrial requirements of the Powder River Basin. The presence of Apache Gas Plant Rd indicates the area's modern energy footprint, while several named landmarks like Anderson Draw, Cresswell Draw, and Swartz Draw preserve the local nomenclature of early ranching families and homesteaders. This 2012 survey illustrates how infrastructure such as Bitter Creek Rd navigates the dissected terrain of Rattlesnake Draw and Timber Draw, connecting isolated parcels across the basin.
