About this map

The Sun River Wildlife Management Area dominates this mid-1990s landscape at the intersection of Lewis and Clark and Teton counties. This region is defined by its complex irrigation and water management systems, including the Geldrich Ditch and the Kirkaldie Canal, which divert water from the Sun River and Willow Creek to support local ranching. The presence of the Sun River Game Range Headquarters and the Morris Ranch reflects the dual use of the land for wildlife conservation and agricultural operations.

Terrain features like the stark Alkali Flat, the prominent Black Butte, and the Black Reef break up the drainage basins of Barr Creek and the North Fork Willow Creek. The map also captures several smaller seasonal drainages such as Rose Creek and Shed Creek, illustrating the transition from the high ridges toward the valley floor. This survey, updated by the U.S. Forest Service, provides a clear view of the wilderness management boundaries and the 5th Standard Parallel North.
