2011 Map of Pocochichee Butte

About this map

Pocochichee Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Powder River County, where the high plains landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and named buttes. The map shows a region shaped by ranching and water management, evidenced by the presence of Pete Dam and numerous small stock reservoirs scattered across the terrain. Waterways such as Honeycomb Creek, Flag Creek, and Timber Creek carve paths through the dry landscape, converging toward the North Fork Dry Creek. The land is punctuated by distinct geological features including Hackett Butte and Saddle Butte, providing navigation points in a territory with few paved roads. Named draws like Plum Thicket Draw and W L Draw suggest a landscape where even subtle topography and vegetation variations were critical for local identification and land use.
