2020 Map of Wild Bill Creek

About this map

Wild Bill Cr winds through this sparsely settled corner of the Powder River Basin, marking a landscape defined by its complex drainage network along the Wyoming and Montana border. The territory is characterized by deep ravines and intermittent waterways, such as Coal Gulch and Fuller Gulch, which carve through the high plains. A network of rural routes, including Butte Creek Rd and Mader-Allen Rd, provides the primary access to the scattered homesteads and ranching tracts within Powder River Co. Significant water features like Little Bowers Cr and N Fork Bowers Cr illustrate the seasonal flow patterns essential to the local livestock economy. This survey documents the modern layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range boundaries of t8s r51e and t9s r51e that still govern land ownership in this remote cattle country.
