About this map

Hay Lakes anchor the southwestern corner of this Campbell County landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in a territory defined by seasonal drainage and ranching geography. The terrain is intricately carved by an extensive network of ephemeral waterways, including Yellow Hammer Cr, Rough Creek, and the winding Whitetail Cr. These drainages converge and diverge across the high plains, illustrating the complex natural irrigation system that has long dictated land use in the Powder River Basin.

Remote transit through this area is facilitated by Lawyer Rd, which provides access to the scattered topographic landmarks like Williams Draw. The map meticulously details the Public Land Survey System boundaries, specifically the intersections of t46n r70w, t46n r69w, t45n r70w, and t45n r69w, which underpin the historic property divisions of the region. This 2017 survey reflects the modern intersection of traditional livestock range and the quiet persistence of these named prairie landmarks.
