2017 Map of Lonesome Peak

About this map

Powder River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its wide valley floor serving as the primary corridor for movement and water in an otherwise arid expanse. The elevation is anchored by Lonesome Peak in the southeast, a prominent landmark that rises above the intricate network of drainage systems. This drainage pattern is remarkably dense, with descriptively named waterways such as Baking Powder Cr, Bog Springs Cr, and Dripping Spring Cr carving deep into the terrain. Human presence is marked by a sparse network of gravel and unimproved roads, including Moorhead Rd and Big Powder River E Rd, which follow the contours of the river and the higher ridges. The inclusion of Garr Reservoir and several named gulches and springs highlights the essential nature of water management for ranching and survival in this corner of Powder River County.
