About this map

Stony Butte Creek and Brushy Creek converge in this western Meade County landscape, where the seasonal drainage network shapes the geography of the high plains. The map centers on the namesake Reed Dam, a local water landmark situated along the upper reaches of Brushy Creek. This area, largely defined by ranching and resource extraction in the early 1980s, shows a sparse but vital human footprint. The settlement at Cooper and the United Sch serve as the primary community hubs, while numerous locations marked simply as Well indicate the critical importance of subterranean water access in this semi-arid terrain. The drainage patterns of West Middle Creek and Middle Creek dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex erosional features characteristic of the region's topography.
