About this map

The high plains of Campbell County are defined by a network of seasonal drainages and isolated family operations in this 2012 survey. Cattle ranching and land management shape the human footprint here, anchored by established sites like Wright Ranch, Patterson Ranch, and Cosner Ranch. These holdings are connected by a sparse grid of rural routes including Gunner Rd and Cosner Rd, which navigate the subtle rises of the Wyoming landscape.

The area is characterized by several distinctive landforms, most notably the namesake Rattlesnake Draw and prominent high points such as Rocky Butte and Rattlesnake Butte. The hydrological pattern is intricate, with N Porcupine Cr and Little Porcupine Cr feeding into the larger Porcupine Cr system. This topographic study captures the essential character of the region's agricultural life and drainage basins in the early 21st century.
