2015 Map of Saddle Horse Butte

About this map

Saddle Horse Butte overlooks a landscape defined by the winding course of the Belle Fourche River and its numerous seasonal tributaries. This Campbell County terrain is shaped by a dense network of erosional features, including Gold Mine Draw, Enyard Draw, and Kicken Draw, which reveal the complex drainage patterns feeding into the river. The area's ranching and livestock history is visible through a series of named water catchments and stock ponds, such as Tisdale Stock Reservoir, Mary Reservoir, and Enyard Reservoir. The presence of Gold Mine Cr and its associated draw suggests early prospecting efforts in this high plains region. This map illustrates the intersection of sparse infrastructure, like Bishop Rd, with the natural hydrology of Deer Cr and Caballo Cr, providing a clear view of the rural Wyoming range as it appeared in the early 21st century.
