About this map

Wags Pinnacle and Chimney Hill rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage prongs in this Campbell County corner. The map documents the headwaters of the Belle Fourche River basin, where numerous local water storage sites like Innes Reservoir, Beaver Cr Reservoir, and Pumpkin Cr Reservoir support ranching operations in this high plains environment.

Transport through this part of the Powder River Basin is anchored by the historic Black And Yellow Rd, which cuts diagonally across the terrain toward Black Butte. The map's detailed hydrography, including the N Prong Pumpkin Cr and Middle Prong Wild Horse Cr, reveals the seasonal water patterns essential for land management. These named topographic features and remote roadways provide a precise record of late-20th and early-21st-century land use in northeastern Wyoming.
