2012 Map of Big Sulfur Draw

About this map

Big Sulfur Spring and a network of seasonal watercourses define this high-plains landscape in Natrona County during the early 21st century. The terrain is deeply etched by ephemeral drainages and draws that feed the S Fork Powder River, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid environment. Strategic water storage is evident through features such as the Alkali Reservoir, Lower Hackett Creek Reservoir, and the uniquely named Suicide Bed Grounds Reservoir. Settlement is sparse, with infrastructure largely limited to the transit corridor of 33 Mile Rd in the north and various unimproved trails. The map serves as a detailed record of the hydrography of the region, from the headwaters of Indian Cr to the confluence points of Lone Bear Cr and its southern fork, providing a clear picture of the land's drainage patterns and resource distribution.
