About this map

Bell Butte stands as a central topographic anchor in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lincoln and Uinta Counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably the several branches of Sheep Creek, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork. These watercourses carve through the high country, creating a complex series of ridges and valleys that dictate the sparse human footprint in the area.

Evidence of modern access is concentrated along Carter Creek Rd in the southwest, while the rest of the land remains largely untamed. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management and natural drainage of the region, where seasonal flows like Bell Creek and Hill Creek feed into the larger basins. This survey serves as a detailed study of the Wyoming high desert and foothills, showing how geography still dictates the movement of people and livestock today.
