About this map

Gillette and its southern residential expansions define the landscape of this 2015 survey, where suburban development meets the high plains of Campbell County. The settlements of Crestview and Antelope Valley are prominently featured, showing a network of residential streets such as Gallery View Dr and Ptarmigan Ave that push into the surrounding terrain. Further east, Sleepy Hollow sits as a distinct residential pocket, separated from the main urban corridor by rolling open spaces.

The topography is marked by significant landmarks like Antelope Butte and Rocky Butte, which provide the elevation and drainage patterns for waterways like Antelope Butte Cr and Tisdale Cr. A notable geological and travel passage is found at The Gap, situated between rising slopes and providing a natural corridor for local movement. The presence of Rourke Reservoir and Rourke Number 1 Reservoir underscores the importance of water management in this semi-arid region, while outlying features like the T A Buttes and Shearing Pen Draw indicate the historical ranching and livestock heritage of the area.
