2021 Map of Morgan Draw

About this map

Arid drainage systems and livestock-water infrastructure characterize this portion of Campbell County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent draws and creeks. The hydrology centers on the Dead Horse Cr and its various branches, including the N Prong Dead Horse Cr and S Prong Barber Cr. Ranching-era land use is evident in the numerous small catchments like Kirby Reservoir, Karen Reservoir, and Morgan Reservoir. Named topographical features such as Morgan Draw, Punkie Draw, and Government Draw suggest a long history of local geographic identification by homesteaders and cattlemen. The area is intersected by Interstate 90 and established rural routes like Barber Creek Rd and Buffalo Cut Across Rd, which facilitate movement through the dissected terrain of the Powder River Basin.
