2015 Map of Opal West SE

About this map

Vig Ranch Airfield serves as a remote hub in this sparsely populated stretch of Meade County, where the high plains transition into distinct geological formations. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Poverty Pinnacles, which rise above a network of seasonal drainage systems including Sulphur Cr and Horse Cr. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey record indicates a landscape largely dedicated to ranching and utility, with long-distance arteries like Triple Creek Rd and Pine Creek Rd providing the primary access through the townships. The drainage patterns of Rock Cr and Elm Cr illustrate the watershed's complexity in this semi-arid region, where land use is dictated by the rugged topography and the proximity to reliable water sources.
