2012 Map of North Butte

About this map

North Butte and Dome Butte dominate this Campbell County landscape, serving as primary vertical landmarks in a region defined by high-plains drainage systems. Ranching footprints are evident through established sites like the Christensen Ranch in the southwest and the Pfister Ranch further east, illustrating the importance of livestock operations in this arid environment. The map details an intricate network of seasonal waterways, including the headwaters of S Prong Pumpkin Cr and several branches of Willow Creek, such as N Prong Willow Cr and Dry Willow Cr. The presence of Dresher Reservoir and Y Spring highlights the critical infrastructure required for water management on these vast rangelands. Further north, features like Pistol Point and drainage draws including Bons Draw and Collins Draw provide specific orientation points for understanding the local topography and historical land use patterns.
