About this map

Gillette extends into the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, signaling the urban edge where residential developments give way to the high plains of Campbell County. Subdivisions such as Sleepy Hollow, Antelope Valley, and Crestview define the transition from town to open range, organized around a network of local roads like Union Chapel Rd and Gap Rd.

The landscape is characterized by prominent high points including Antelope Butte and Rocky Butte, which overlook the drainages of Antelope Butte Cr and Tisdale Cr. Water management in this semi-arid environment is evident through features like Rourke Reservoir and Rourke Number 1 Reservoir, while the named buttes and draws, including Lee Draw and Shearing Pen Draw, reflect a long-standing ranching geography. This survey provides a precise look at the 21st-century residential footprint expanding south and east from the city center toward the more isolated T A Buttes.
