2017 Map of Alkali Creek

About this map

Alkali Creek winds through this arid section of Big Horn County, defining a landscape shaped by water management and remote access. The map reveals the infrastructure of high-desert ranching and resource use, centered around the Bethurem Reservoir and the Brown Number 1 Reservoir. These water features, alongside the course of Crystal Cr, represent vital landmarks in an otherwise sparsely settled region. Transport is limited primarily to the winding path of Crystal Creek Rd, which provides the main artery through the complex topography. This survey captures the rural character of northern Wyoming in the early 21st century, where the land is primarily partitioned into large sections for grazing and water rights, indicated by the detailed township and range boundaries of t55n r94w and t54n r93w.
