About this map

Pumpkin Buttes rise above the high plains of Campbell County, serving as the dominant topographical landmarks in this part of northeastern Wyoming. The quadrangle is defined by these dramatic landforms, including South Butte, Indian Butte, and South Mid Butte, which overlook a network of intermittent drainages like Fourmile Cr and All Night Cr. These waterways eventually feed into the Belle Fourche River, which cuts across the southeastern portion of the map.

Settlement is sparse in this open country, with the landscape marked primarily by family-named roads such as Christenson Rd and Van Buggenum Rd. For local history researchers, the Four Mile Cem near the northern boundary provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The map captures the expansive character of the Wyoming range, where geographic isolation is balanced by a distinct naming convention for every butte and creek bed, including Little Black Butte and S All Night Cr.
