About this map

Nostrum Mtn dominates this section of Hot Springs County, serving as a high-elevation landmark in a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and isolated water sources. The map highlights a network of vital desert water points, including Nostrum Spring, Big Eagle Spring, and Little Eagle Springs, which historically sustained movement through this arid territory. The terrain transitions from the steep Minnesela Slope to the distinct landform of Potato Butte in the west.

Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Red Canyon Rd and Co Rd 34E, which follow the natural contours shaped by Red Canyon Cr and Dry Cottonwood Cr. The survey details a system of named draws, such as Bobcat Draw, Jergens Draw, and Johnson Draw, which reveal the erosional patterns of the Bighorn Basin and provide specific geographical markers for modern land management and historical research.
