2012 Map of Rough Creek

About this map

Lawyer Rd provides the primary access through this high plains drainage system in Campbell County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses. In the northern reaches, Rough Creek and Yellow Hammer Creek lead toward the Whitetail Creek basin, while the central territory is dominated by the long, winding path of Dry Creek. The map documents a classic Wyoming ranching environment, where landmarks like Corral Creek and the T-7 Prong suggest the historical and ongoing use of these seasonal draws for livestock management. These drainages, including Jay Creek and Bacon Creek, reveal the natural erosion patterns and land use of the Powder River Basin at the beginning of the 2010s.
