About this map

Black Mtn dominates the high desert terrain at the border of Washakie and Hot Springs counties in this 2015 survey. The landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and ridgelines, notably the prominent Devils Slide Rdg and the deep cut of Bader Draw. Water management in this arid region is reflected in a series of small, isolated catchments including Holland Reservoir, Black Mountain Reservoir, and VW Reservoir, which serve as vital resources for the surrounding rangeland.

Transportation through the basin relies on established routes such as Black Mountain Rd and Pack Saddle Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Minnick Basin and the Lake Creek Divide. The drainage of Nowater Cr provides a primary geographic corridor, while the presence of the Worland Nowood Draw Number 4 signifies local irrigation or water-control efforts within this distinctively Wyoming interior basin.
