2017 Map of Three Bar Ranch

About this map

Three Bar Ranch serves as a primary reference point in this corner of the Powder River Basin, situated near the headwaters of several drainages along the Montana-Wyoming border. The landscape is defined by the dendritic patterns of Three Bar Cr, including its North and South forks, which carve through the high plains. The transition between Powder River County, Montana, and Campbell County, Wyoming, is marked by a network of rural routes such as Three Bar Rd and Bay Horse Rd. This survey documents the spatial organization of range lands and the strategic placement of ranching infrastructure relative to water sources like Buffalo Cr and Bay Horse Cr during the late 2010s.
