About this map

East Butte dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, serving as a primary geological landmark in this part of Blaine County. The terrain is defined by an intricate drainage system, where the East Branch Thirtymile Creek and the various branches of Wayne Creek carve out the topography. The presence of Box Spring in the northwest suggests a critical water source for early ranching and land use in this semi-arid region. To the south, the network of Forgey Creek and its West Fork Forgey Creek illustrates the complex seasonal water flow patterns that shaped local movement and settlement. These family-named watercourses, such as the forks of Wayne Creek, provide essential geographic anchors for genealogists and local historians tracing land patents and the development of high-plains agriculture.
