2012 Map of Nipple Butte

About this map

The Little Powder River winds through the western half of this Campbell County landscape, defining a drainage system that includes Trail Cr, Dry Trail Cr, and Olmstead Cr. The terrain is characterized by high ridges and distinct geological markers, most notably the Nipple Butte landmark and the Prairie Dog Hills in the north. This survey documents the pastoral and rangeland character of northeastern Wyoming, where small intermittent streams like Eightyfive Cr descend from the Eightyfive Divide. Transportation in this area is limited to rural routes such as Trail Creek Rd and Olmstead Rd, illustrating the low-density settlement pattern typical of the region. Features like Ash Draw and Bell Cr further highlight the intricate hydrography that has historically supported livestock and land management in the Powder River Basin.
