2021 Map of Nipple Butte

About this map

The Little Powder River meanders through this portion of Campbell County, carving a distinct valley through the high plains. This 2021 landscape is defined by its drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Corral Cr and Olmstead Cr feed into the river system. Elevations rise toward the northeast at the Prairie Dog Hills, while the prominent landmark of Nipple Butte stands as a focal point in the central terrain. Human imprint remains sparse, concentrated primarily along unpaved routes such as Trail Creek Rd and Olmstead Rd. Further south, the high ground of the Eightyfive Divide separates the local basins, guiding the flow of Eightyfive Cr and Bell Cr. This survey illustrates the modern ranching and grazing layout of the region, emphasizing the relationship between limited water sources and the topography of the Powder River Basin.
