About this map

Mitten Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high plains landscape of Campbell County, where the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and livestock water management. The northern reaches of the map are characterized by the Prairie Dog Hills and the headwaters of Prairie Dog Cr, while the southern portion is marked by the significant geographic rise of the Eightyfive Divide.

A network of man-made water features, including North Trail Reservoir, Gary Reservoir, and Donna Reservoir, highlights the necessity of water conservation in this arid region. These reservoirs are strategically located along seasonal drainages like Trail Cr and Dry Trail Cr. Rural access is maintained via Parks Rd and Trail Creek Rd, which navigate the various township and range boundaries that partition this cattle-country terrain.
