2015 Map of North Butte

About this map

Pumpkin Buttes dominate this high plains landscape in southern Campbell County, providing a series of prominent topographic landmarks including North Butte and Dome Butte. This 2015 survey reveals an arid ranching and energy landscape characterized by a network of drainage features like S Prong Pumpkin Cr and Prong Willow Cr. Water management is evident through the inclusion of the Dresher Reservoir and Rodabaugh Reservoir, essential features for local land use in this part of Wyoming. The map also records several family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Pistol Point, Hartzog Draw, and Heidt Draw, which offer clues to the ranching history and local nomenclature of the region. Access is primarily limited to rugged tracks and Christensen Rd, illustrating the low population density and expansive nature of this section of the Powder River Basin.
