2017 Map of Box Elder Draw

About this map

Coal Mine Draw and King Geyser Draw highlight the geologic and industrial history of this borderland between Sheridan County, Wyoming, and the Montana counties of Big Horn and Powder River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal draws, including the central Box Elder Draw and the various branches of Seventysix Cr. The presence of labels like Schoolhouse Prong suggests the locations of earlier rural infrastructure and community focal points in this ranching country. Transportation through the hills is anchored by Hanging Woman Rd, which follows the contours of Hanging Woman Cr and its tributaries. This map provides a detailed view of the high plains terrain before the headwaters of the S Fork N Buffalo Cr, documenting a sparsely populated region shaped by water access and small-scale resource extraction.
