2015 Map of Badlands Hills

About this map

Badland Hills dominate this portion of Park County, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by significant water management infrastructure. The landscape reflects the importance of irrigation in the arid West, featuring the Heart Mountain Canal and Lateral H-141 moving water across the Ralston Flats. Several water storage sites, including Three-Falls Reservoir and the West Fork Sand Coulee Reservoir, are strategically placed among the drainages of the West Fork Big Sand Coulee and Little Sand Coulee. The presence of the Angle Detention Dam further illustrates the engineering required to manage seasonal runoff and agricultural needs in this Wyoming interior. Secondary routes like CR-18 provide the primary access through the dissected hills, connecting the higher elevations with the flatter agricultural patches such as Alkali Cr Patch.
