About this map

The Little Missouri River system defines the rugged drainages of this northern Wyoming landscape, where the high plains meet the Montana border. Settlement centers on the small community of Rockypoint, marked by its local Rockypoint Ch. Evidence of the region’s education history is preserved at the Nebraska Sch, while the agricultural and ranching economy is represented by water management features like Scott Reservoirs and the seasonal The Lake Bed.

Resource extraction is a prominent theme throughout the territory, with numerous Oil Wells and exploratory Drill Holes scattered across the drainages of Hattie Creek and Skunk Creek. These industrial markers sit alongside topographic landmarks such as Signal Hill, providing a detailed record of land use at a time when energy exploration was expanding into the rural grazing lands of Crook and Campbell counties.
