About this map

Pleasantdale serves as a central point in this northern Campbell County landscape, where the high plains are carved by the intricate drainage systems of Caballo Cr and Hoe Cr. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks such as Twenty-one Mile Butte and the deep relief of Rooster Canyon, illustrating the high-desert topography of the Powder River Basin. Resource extraction and rural transit are evident through the network of established routes like Oil Field Rd and Hayden Rd, which intersect the expansive grazing lands.

Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Butte Reservoir and Hoe Spring, critical points for livestock and local ecology. The map documents the complex hydrological branches of the region, including the Middle Prong Dead Horse Cr and the S Prong Caballo Cr, which wind through features like Caballo Draw. This detailed survey offers a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and natural landmarks of the Wyoming range.
