2017 Map of Negro Butte

About this map

Negro Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of the Powder River Basin, marking the high ground between ephemeral drainages that define the local ranching landscape. The terrain is deeply etched by systems like Culp Draw and Hood Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger watercourses. To the north, Beaver Cr meanders through the breaks, while Pumpkin Cr cuts across the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Human presence is defined by the survey grid and the thin lines of Beaver Creek Rd and Iberlin Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to large-scale land management and resource use along the Johnson Co Campbell Co line.
