About this map

Petty Ranch and Phillips Ranch anchor this landscape in central Wyoming, where the high plains meet the headwaters of the Powder River. The drainage network is dense and intricate, with the S Fork Powder River winding through the northern reaches, joined by numerous seasonal drainages such as Cow Camp Cr, Landon Cr, and Stone Cabin Cr.

The topographic character is defined by significant landmarks like Wild Horse Butte and the Coalbank Hills, providing a clear view of the ranching corridors through McRae Gap and Hoff Gap. Isolated water features like Christine Lake stand out in this arid environment, while the presence of Gas Hills Rd suggests the vital transport links connecting these remote outposts to the broader region’s energy and agricultural infrastructure.
