About this map

Wild Bill Creek and the surrounding drainage basins of Campbell County define this 2011 landscape near the Montana-Wyoming border. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Badger Creek, Blacktail Creek, and the various branches of the Bowers Creek system. This area reflects the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, where ranch roads like Mader-Allen Rd and Bowers Creek Rd provide access to the high plains.

Concrete evidence of land management and industrial potential is visible in features like the Bowers Number 1 Dam and Coal Gulch. These labels suggest a history of water storage for livestock and the geological presence of the region's prominent coal resources. The map also traces smaller drainages such as Allison Creek and Rock Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of this borderland before modern development could further alter the natural contours.
