2015 Map of Nipple Butte

About this map

The Little Powder River winds through this section of Campbell County, carving a wide valley through a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and high points. This 2015 topography shows a network of creeks and draws that dictate the layout of the land, including the Eightyfive Cr system and Dry Trail Cr. Notable landmarks such as Nipple Butte and the Prairie Dog Hills rise above the surrounding terrain, while Eightyfive Divide marks a key geographic separation in the southeastern quadrant. Human presence is sparse, concentrated primarily along rural routes like Trail Creek Rd and Olmstead Rd. The map illustrates a classic High Plains rangeland character, where names like Ash Draw and Corral Cr suggest a history of cattle ranching and seasonal water management in a semi-arid environment.
