2012 Map of Threemile Butte

About this map

Threemile Butte stands as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of eastern Wyoming, where the drainage systems of the Cheyenne River define the local topography. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and grazing environment marked by intermittent waterways like Sevenmile Cr, Crooked Cr, and Boggy Cr. The presence of the New Deal Number 1 Reservoir suggests the historical importance of water management in this arid region, likely supporting local livestock operations. Several family-named or descriptive terrain features such as Sheldon Hill, Charlies Draw, and Hungry Hollow provide specific points of reference for local historians. A network of rural routes, including Cheyenne River Rd and Dutch Joe Rd, connects these remote drainage basins and grazing lands.
