About this map

Battle Mtn and the neighboring Hawks Butte dominate this section of the Wyoming interior, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex drainage networks. This 2017 survey details the rugged confluence of counties, where Washakie Co meets Hot Springs Co, Fremont Co, and Natrona Co. The landscape is a study in hydrologic erosion, featuring the deep Stove Creek Canyon and the seasonal paths of the Nowood River and Crawford Cr.

Remote water sources like Dead Indian Spring and the Mexican Lakes provide critical points of interest for those tracking historical land use or surveying this arid territory. The presence of Buffalo Springs Cr and the fork of the Buffalo Creek system illustrate the natural corridors used for movement through this high country. While modern infrastructure is sparse, limited to routes like Co RD 82, the map preserves the exact elevation and topographic character of these named landmarks and draws.
