About this map

Blue Hill stands as a prominent elevation in this high-desert region of Hot Springs County, overlooking a landscape defined by deep draws and erosional basins. The terrain is carved by hydrological features such as Ditch Creek Canyon and the winding course of Buffalo Cr, which are supported by numerous water sources including Winter Spring and Bye Springs. The drainage patterns here are complex, with Major Basin Draw and Blue Springs Draw funneling toward the larger basin systems that characterize this part of Wyoming.

Remote access is maintained via Buffalo Creek Rd and Ditch Creek Rd, which navigate around significant landforms like Red Canyon and Jack Welch Basin. This survey documents a sparsely populated but geographically distinct area where name-bearing landmarks like Grider Basin and Side Hill Spring provide essential orientation for livestock management and local navigation in a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource management.
