About this map

Reppe Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this Fergus County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources. The map reveals a high-plains environment focused on cattle ranching and land management, with features like the Hess Dam and various springs including Hart Spring, Bow Spring, and Linder Spring providing critical water in an arid region. The geography is carved by Two Calf Creek and its tributary, the South Fork Two Calf Creek, as well as Woodhawk Creek to the north.

Transportation is limited to primitive routes like 2 Calf Rd and the D-Y Trl, which navigate the rises of Sullivan Ridge. The presence of Lambing Camp Creek suggests the historical and continued use of these pastures for seasonal livestock grazing. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and natural hydrology of the Missouri River breaks region in the early twenty-first century.
