2015 Map of Negro Butte

About this map

Negro Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this section of the Powder River Basin, situated along the county line where Johnson and Campbell Counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses, most notably Beaver Cr in the north and Pumpkin Cr further south. These features, along with named relief points like Culp Draw and Hood Draw, illustrate the highly dissected nature of the Wyoming high plains. Settlement and access are focused around a few established corridors such as Beaver Creek Rd and Berlin Rd, which navigate the complex terrain. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey system, revealing how land was partitioned across this ranching and energy-producing region in the early 21st century.
