2011 Map of Wolf Butte NW

About this map

Lone Tree Creek and McCarthy Creek carve through this section of Judith Basin County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the high plains. The area shows a transition from the northwesterly flow of Shannon Creek to the intricate coulees of the south, including Rattlesnake Coulee and Wolf Butte Coulee. The presence of the 16n10e21ads_01 Spring indicates a critical water source for the local environment, while the Geyser Rest Area along the highway provides a rare landmark in an otherwise open ranching or agricultural landscape. A network of county roads, such as County Rd-128 and County Rd-210, facilitates movement across this expanse, connecting the various creek valleys that feed into larger watersheds like Surprise Creek.
