About this map

Beartrap Meadows serves as the central focal point of this Wyoming high-country landscape, where complex water rights and ranching infrastructure are evident through numerous named catchments. The map identifies Seven Elk Res, Simmon Reservoir, and Larramandy Reservoir, indicating a landscape managed for livestock and seasonal grazing during the mid-1960s. High-altitude geography is defined by prominent features like Rome Hill and the wide expanse of Billy Flats.

Transportation through this part of Johnson County is limited to a few arterial routes like Hazelton Road and the Pass Creek Road, alongside a network of specialized infrastructure. A remote Landing Strip and a Jeep Trail underscore the area's isolation, while Sawmill Springs and Big Spring highlight the critical nature of water sources in this environment. The presence of numerous named drainages, including Beartrap Creek and N Fk Otter Creek, illustrates the intricate watershed system feeding the region.
