About this map

Mitten Butte rises above a complex drainage system in this high-plains landscape within Campbell County. The local water management infrastructure is evident through the presence of several stock ponds and impoundments, specifically Gary Reservoir, Donna Reservoir, and North Trail Reservoir. These water sources are fed by an intricate network of intermittent streams, including Trail Cr, Prairie Dog Cr, and Hattie Cr, which have carved deep contours into the terrain.

Remote ranching and transportation patterns are defined by the intersection of Trail Creek Rd and Parks Rd, which navigate the elevation changes near Prairie Dog Hills. In the southern portion of the map, the Eightyfive Divide marks a significant topographical crest, influencing the direction of flow for Dry Trail Cr and other smaller tributaries that define this section of the Powder River Basin.
