2017 Map of White Tail Butte

About this map

White Tail Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Campbell County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate system of drainage draws and seasonal creeks. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the N Fork Elk Cr and the S Fork Olmstead Cr, which illustrate the complex topography of the Powder River Basin. Human presence in this expansive ranching country is marked by the winding routes of Bay Horse Rd and Hart Rd, providing access to isolated water features like the Ponch Reservoir. The map captures a transition point between watersheds, notably at the North Divide Draw, where the subtle shifts in elevation dictate the flow of ephemeral streams like Chalk Prong and Deen Draw.
