2015 Map of Four Bar J Ranch

About this map

Wild Horse Cr and Bluegate Cr define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Campbell County. The map reveals a land heavily modified for water management, characterized by a series of small, strategically placed impoundments such as Myrtle Reservoir, Smith Reservoir, and the North School Section Reservoir. These features, alongside named drainages like Pearson Draw and Force Draw, illustrate the vital importance of water storage for ranching operations in this semi-arid region. A network of rural roads, including Lowery Ranch Rd and Tongue River RD, connects these points across the open terrain. The inclusion of Coat-Mine Reservoir hints at the underlying geology and industrial history of the Powder River Basin, while the varied named reservoirs suggest decades of localized land improvement and family ranching heritage.
