2017 Map of Rocky Butte Gulch

About this map

The town of Wright occupies the southeastern corner of this Campbell County survey, appearing just as modern energy development and ranching patterns shaped the local landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainage systems, most notably Rocky Butte Gulch and Dry Draw, which segment the rolling plains. Water management is a critical feature of this arid environment, evidenced by the Rock Butte Number 2 Reservoir and the headwaters of the Belle Fourche River in the northwest. To the east and south, the land is etched by the paths of W Fork Hay Cr, Hay Cr, and Billie Cr. This map provides a clear view of the rural road network and section boundaries that organize this part of the Powder River Basin.
