2015 Map of Schuster Flats NW

About this map

Red Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of the Bighorn Basin, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the arid plains. The survey illustrates the divide between the north and middle forks of the Fifteenmile Creek system, with N Fork Fifteenmile Cr and Middle Fork Fifteenmile Cr carving distinct paths through the terrain. To the north, Fivemile Cr winds through the township, marking a separate hydrologic drainage. The road network is sparse but functional, centered on long-distance routes like 15 Mile Rd and Ten Mile Rd, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Straddling the border between Big Horn and Washakie counties, the map documents the intersection of T48N and T49N, providing a clear record of the area's geography and administrative boundaries in the mid-2010s.
