About this map

The high plateau of Tabletop and the headwaters of the Powder River define this sparsely populated landscape in the early twenty-first century. This territory is marked by the rugged drainage of the North Fork Red Fork Powder River, where the terrain drops away at The Castle Rock. Significant for local history and land use, the map documents the Hess Cabin and numerous water sources essential for high-country survival, including Thompson Springs and Curutchet Spring.

Remote access is provided by a thin network of improved and unimproved paths, notably Hazelton Road and Between the Creeks Road. These routes navigate a complex topography of draws and forks, such as School Section Draw and Beartrap Creek. The geography here remains largely defined by its natural hydrology, with the multiple branches of South Fork Otter Creek and Baldwin Creek carving through the plateau.
