2023 Map of Ibex Butte

About this map

Gilchrist Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this portion of Crook County, where water management is central to the landscape's utility. The area is marked by a series of named catchments and springs, including Sartain Reservoir Number Two and a sequence of basins from Twelvemile Reservoir Number One through Twelvemile Reservoir Number Four. These features, along with scattered sites like Ibex Waterhole and Santry Waterhole, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and water security in a territory dominated by prominent volcanic landforms.
