2014 Map of Wild Bill Creek

About this map

The small settlement of Biddle serves as a lone point of habitation in this high-plains landscape where the borders of Montana and Wyoming meet. Defined by a complex drainage network, the area is etched by the meandering courses of Wild Bill Cr, Blacktail Cr, and Badger Cr as they flow across the divide. The terrain is marked by significant geographic landmarks like Coal Gulch and Fuller Gulch, which reflect the region's geological and extractive history. A network of rural routes, including Butte Creek Rd and Bowers Creek Rd, connect isolated ranching properties across Powder River Co, revealing the sparse but deliberate layout of land use in the early 21st century. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between the natural hydrology of N Fork Bowers Cr and the structured township and range system that continues to govern land management here.
