About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through the northwestern corner of this Campbell County landscape, carving through high plains terrain defined by an intricate network of drainages and intermittent streams. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Marquiss Reservoir and the Rock Butte No 2 Reservoir, which provide essential collection points in this arid environment. The map details the complex topography of Rocky Butte Gulch and the surrounding draws that feed into Hay Creek.

Energy infrastructure is a prominent modern layer upon the land, with a notable Pipeline corridor cutting across the center of the survey. Reliable water sources like Red Spring and the seasonal flows of Billie Creek are meticulously documented, offering critical waypoints for local history researchers and land managers studying the intersection of natural resources and industrial development in Wyoming's interior.
