2015 Map of Alkali Creek

About this map

Alkali Creek and its complex drainage patterns define this Big Horn County landscape, where water management is central to the land's utility. The presence of several named water storage sites, including Eberhard Number 1 Reservoir, Bethurem Reservoir, and Brown Number 1 Reservoir, points to the essential nature of irrigation and stock watering in this arid Wyoming environment. The terrain is structured by a network of drainage ways and high-ground divides, navigated by local routes such as Crystal Creek Rd and Schroeder Access Rd. These roads provide access to the various sections of the public land survey system, which remains the primary organizational framework for this sparsely populated territory. The map illustrates how human activity is localized around these vital water sources and the natural course of Crystal Creek.
