About this map

The Belle Fourche River meanders across this corner of Campbell County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and energy extraction. This 2012 survey captures the industrial footprint of the Powder River Basin, centered around the Dillinger Ranch Oil Field and the Bishop Ranch Oil Field. These sites, along with landmarks like Bishop Rd, reflect the intersection of traditional ranching and modern petroleum production in Wyoming's high plains.

Prominent terrain features such as the Yellow Hammer Buttes and Cabin Canyon provide relief to the drainage network of Whitetail Creek and Yellow Hammer Creek. While the area is largely defined by open range, the presence of the Cabin Canyon Reservoir suggests the critical importance of water management in this arid environment, supporting both livestock and industry in the northern reaches of the state.
