2017 Map of Bader Draw

About this map

Black Mtn stands as a prominent high point in this remote section of the Big Horn Basin, where the border of Washakie and Hot Springs counties bisects the high desert landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of significant erosional features, including the eponymous Bader Draw and the adjacent Scorpion Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the north and east. This arid environment required significant water management for ranching and land use, evidenced by the scattered catchments like Holland Reservoir, V W Reservoir, and Black Mountain Reservoir.
