2012 Map of West of Stony Butte

About this map

E Br War Cr and W Br War Cr carve through the dry rangeland of Jones County, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled prairie landscape. The area is characterized by isolated water management features essential for ranching, notably Sheriff Reservoir in the north and Kennedy Number One Reservoir further south. Local transport is dictated by a grid of section lines and the north-south corridor of Co Rd N 15. The 2012 topography shows a high-plains environment where water is the primary organizing principle, with small stock ponds and ephemeral stream branches marking the undulating terrain of the West of Stony Butte area.
