2021 Map of Poker Butte

About this map

The Middle Fork Powder River carves through this high-altitude landscape of central Wyoming, defined by the sharp elevations of North River Slope and South River Slope. The area is steeped in regional lore, most notably represented by the Outlaw Cave Trl and the notorious Hole-in-the-Wall Slope, long associated with the hideouts of the Old West. This modern survey illustrates the rugged drainage patterns of Buffalo Cr and N Poker Cr, where the terrain transitions into open grazing lands and meadows known locally as Poker Creek Parks and Ghent Parks. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where movement is dictated by the few improved routes like Buffalo Creek Rd and Bar C Rd, connecting isolated landmarks such as The Trap and The Mesa.
