2017 Map of Lone Tree Creek

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this corner of Campbell County, where the high plains landscape is defined by its drainage networks and industrial infrastructure. The northern reaches of the map include the Little Powder River and Coal Cr, while the southern terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as the Cow Creek Wall and the Cow Creek Breaks. This area reveals a pattern of land use centered on ranching and energy extraction, evidenced by the presence of Oil Field Rd and Soda Wells Rd cutting through the open range. Water management is critical in this environment, as shown by the Lone Tree Reservoir and Davis Reservoir, which serve as vital collection points along the ephemeral Lone Tree Cr and its tributaries like the N Fork Hay Cr.
