2012 Map of Belknap Creek

About this map

The S Fork Shoshone River flows through this high-country landscape in Park County, where agricultural irrigation and ranching define the local land use. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the presence of the Neff Ditch and the Lakeview Ditch, which divert water from the river to support the surrounding territory. Notable human footprints include the Belknap Ranch and Pelcher Ranch in the northwest, while the Coe Lodge sits near the eastern edge. A series of controlled water bodies, such as Belknap Creek Number 5 Reservoir and Swan Creek Number 2 Reservoir, are situated within the drainage systems of Belknap Creek and Sheep Creek. Transportation through this often-isolated terrain is maintained via routes like Carter Mountain Rd and Willow Creek Rd, which provide access to the lakes and watersheds of the Absaroka range foothills.
