2011 Map of Mead Creek

About this map

Mead Creek and its surrounding drainage basins define this Wheatland County landscape, where watercourses carve through high plains and break into steep features like Sawmill Canyon. The drainage network is complex, featuring the winding paths of Roberts Creek and Antelope Creek as they flow south and east. Ranching remains the primary footprint on the land, with isolated outposts such as Stone Ranch and Lode Ranch situated near the water sources necessary for livestock in this semi-arid environment. The terrain is marked by notable elevations like Stevens Butte, providing vantage points over a grid of utility roads and local routes. These paths, including Haymaker Rd and several forest service access ways, connect the scattered ranching operations across the prairie.
