About this map

Ross Flat defines the high plains landscape of the Powder River Basin during the mid-1980s, straddling the border between Campbell and Converse counties. This topographical survey reveals an intricate drainage system etched into the plateau, where seasonal waterways like McNaughton Draw and Ninemile Creek dictate the contours of the land. The presence of a Prospect near the center of the sheet highlights the industrial potential and resource exploration that has long characterized this portion of Wyoming.

A network of unimproved roads and trails connects remote points across the sagebrush-dotted terrain, following natural features such as Antelope Creek and Death Cell Draw. These routes provide a look at the rural infrastructure supporting ranching and energy interests before more modern developments. The variety of named landmarks, including Bull Draw and Friday Draw, provides specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use or regional genealogy in this sparsely populated region.
