1984 Map of Rattlesnake Draw

About this map

Rocky Butte and Rattlesnake Butte dominate the high ground of this Campbell County landscape, serving as the primary landmarks in an area defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is marked by a series of intermittent draws and creeks that converge toward the south and east, including the extensive course of North Porcupine Creek and the eponymous Rattlesnake Draw. The survey reveals a landscape largely devoid of concentrated settlement, instead highlighting the isolated named geographical features used by locals to navigate the open range. Watercourses like Butte Gulch, Billie Creek, and Tree Draw indicate the historical importance of seasonal water management in this Wyoming interior. The map provides a look at the rural survey sections and unimproved roads as they existed in the mid-1980s, documenting the natural landmarks of the region before significant modern development.
