2011 Map of Reanus Cone

About this map

Reanus Cone dominates this high plains landscape in Powder River County, where water management is the defining human footprint. Numerous catchments and reservoirs, including Howes Reservoir, Seymour Reservoir, and Stewart Reservoir, dot the drainages of South Fork Taylor Creek and Indian Creek. These features indicate the vital role of livestock ranching and water conservation in this arid region of Montana. The transport network is sparse, centered on the Reanus Cone Rd and the Yonkee Cutoff, which provide access through the varying elevations of Thompson Draw. Researchers can also locate specific groundwater sources such as the 08S46E04DDD B01 Spring, reflecting the detailed hydrological data typical of 21st-century topographic surveys.
