About this map

White Tail Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Campbell County, presiding over a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and ranch roads. The terrain is deeply etched by features such as North Divide Draw and White Rock Draw, illustrating the complex erosional patterns typical of the Wyoming high plains. Water management in this arid environment is evident through the placement of the Plum Tree Reservoir and Ponch Reservoir, which capture runoff from vital waterways like White Tail Cr and Elk Cr.

A sparse network of rural routes, including Bay Horse Rd, Hart Rd, and Elk Creek Rd, provides the primary access to these remote sections. The map records the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t56n r73w providing the structural framework for landholdings in a region where geography and navigation are inseparable from the drainage of the N Fork Elk Cr and its tributaries.
