About this map

Sayle sits in the corner of this high-plains landscape, where the drainage systems of N Fork Taylor Cr and S Fork Taylor Cr define the northern terrain. The map is dominated by an extensive network of small-scale water management features, including dozens of stock reservoirs and named springs within the Custer National Forest. These features, such as Kueffer Reservoir and Yankee Reservoir, highlight the intensive rangeland use and the necessity of water storage in this semi-arid environment.

Prominent landmarks like Diamond Butte overlook a series of prongs and forks, including the Willie Bull Prong and S Fork Bloom Cr. To the south, the landscape is marked by deeper incisions such as Dutch Gulch and managed areas like Buck Pasture Reservoirs. The presence of established ranching infrastructure is further evidenced by specific sites like Plum Creek Corral Spring, which reflects the logistical needs of cattle operations in Powder River County.
