2021 Map of Dugout Creek North

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape on the border of Campbell and Converse counties. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and eroded landforms, including the Rochelle Hills and Red Hills. Water management is evident through features like the Lazy Y Number 1 Reservoir, supporting a region where ranching and energy extraction intersect. The industrial footprint of the Powder River Basin is marked by the Antelope Coal Mine Road, which cuts through the grasslands toward mining operations. A network of primitive paths and named draws, such as North Dugout Trl and Phillips Draw Trl, weave through the topography near Dugout Cr, illustrating how land use is tied to the local hydrology of Antelope Cr and Horse Cr.
