About this map

Battle Mtn and Hawks Butte dominate this section of the Bighorn Basin, marking a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and high-desert relief. The Nowood River flows through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries including Bates Cr and Crawford Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates the remote character of the Washakie County high country, where water sources like Dead Indian Spring and the Mexican Lakes are critical landmarks.

The map reveals a complex system of draws and canyons, most notably Stove Creek Canyon and Brome Draw. Human presence is minimal, represented by the path of Pack Saddle Rd and CR-rb2, along with several county boundary lines that meet in this arid terrain. The intricate contour work traces the varied elevations between Buffalo Springs Cr and the fork systems of W Fork Buffalo Cr and E Fork Buffalo Cr.
