2012 Map of Rocky Butte

About this map

Ute Oil Field defines much of the industrial character in this portion of Campbell County, where energy extraction intersects with a landscape of high plains drainage systems. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Rocky Butte and the Red Hills, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including Rock Cr and the various branches of Olmstead Cr. These creeks, along with Daley Draw, create a complex topography of erosional features common to the Powder River Basin. Transportation in this area is primarily served by local routes like Bowers Ute Rd and Olmstead Rd, providing access to the distributed infrastructure of the oil field. The map illustrates the sparse, utilitarian settlement pattern typical of Wyoming's mineral-rich ranchlands in the early 21st century.
