About this map

The high plains of Campbell County are defined by a complex drainage network feeding into Bitter Cr and its various tributaries. This 2015 survey highlights the topographic relief of the Recluse Hills, where numerous named coulees and draws such as Rattlesnake Draw, Rosie Draw, and Timber Draw carve into the landscape. The namesake Dead Horse Lake sits in the southern portion of the map, fed by Dead Horse Cr near the junction of several section lines.

Evidence of ranching and land management is visible through the established road system, including Bitter Creek Rd, Wallis Rd, and Russell Rd. These routes follow the natural contours of the terrain, connecting disparate points like Bear Gulch and Cresswell Draw. The map captures the hydrological patterns of the region, specifically the winding path of the Quarter Circle Prong Bitter Cr as it traverses the eastern sections.
