About this map

Caballo Creek and its namesake tributary Caballo Cr wind through this high-plains landscape in Campbell County. The drainage network is further defined by seasonal watercourses like Bone Pile Cr and the eastern Clabaugh Draw, illustrating the arid hydrology of the Powder River Basin. Man-made interventions are sparse but critical, anchored by the Haight Reservoir in the southwest. A grid of rural routes including Hilight Rd and Bishop Rd provides access to large-tract ranching and resource land, connecting the various draws and creek beds that break up the open terrain. The map details the precise township and range boundaries that govern this expansive territory, such as t48n r72w and t47n r71w, revealing the systematic organization of the Wyoming backcountry during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
