About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through this High Plains landscape, serving as a primary corridor for settlement and recreation in Crook County. Near the northeastern edge of this 2012 survey, the river feeds into the massive Keyhole Reservoir, which defines the local topography and supports Keyhole State Park. The surrounding terrain is a network of seasonal drainages and draws, including Hayworth Draw and Miller Cr, revealing a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow.

Local land use is evidenced by established homesteads and grazing operations such as Schuricht Ranch and Robinson Ranch. The map details the local infrastructure supporting these rural outposts, from S Big Horn Ave to the smaller tracks of Carr Rd and Rush Creek Rd. This documentation of modern Wyoming ranching country provides a look at the intersection of public land management and private agricultural heritage.
