2017 Map of Rocky Butte

About this map

Rocky Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Campbell County, presiding over a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle country. The drainage network is anchored by Olmstead Cr and its various tributaries, including N Fork Olmstead Cr, which carve through the high plains. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the Red Hills and Daley Draw, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the Powder River Basin. Though settlement is sparse, the presence of Olmstead Rd and Bowers Ute Rd indicates the vital overland connections between remote ranching outposts. Water sources like Rock Cr and Coal Gulch reflect the geological and agricultural priorities of the region, where every named draw and creek served as a critical point of reference for early inhabitants and modern land managers alike.
