2017 Map of Nipple Butte

About this map

Little Powder River winds through the northern reaches of this Campbell County terrain, carving a drainage system that defines the local topography. This 2017 survey shows a landscape dominated by high points and divides, most notably the namesake Nipple Butte and the Prairie Dog Hills to the northeast. The map provides a detailed view of the watercourses that have shaped this portion of Wyoming, including Eightyfive Cr and Dry Trail Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. High ground is marked by the Eightyfive Divide and Ash Draw, where the elevation shifts between the various creek beds. This is a region defined by its hydrology and landforms, where human access is carved out through routes like Trail Creek Rd and Olmstead Rd, tracing the paths of earlier settlement and ranching efforts.
