About this map

Bynum Reservoir and its supporting irrigation infrastructure dominate this Teton County landscape. The map reveals the intricate water management system essential for high-plains agriculture, featuring the Bynum Reservoir Ditch and the nearby Farmers Reservoir. These engineered water bodies sit alongside natural drainages like Muddy Cr and Blacktail Cr, highlighting the region's reliance on water storage for ranching and farming operations.

Local access is defined by a grid of rural routes including Miller Colony Farm Rd and Teton Canyon Rd, which navigate the terrain between the reservoir and the Teton River at the southern edge. Topographic variations such as Chicken Coulee provide natural contrast to the expansive water features, while several smaller creeks like Foster Cr and McDonald Cr feed into the broader hydrologic network of the Rocky Mountain Front's eastern slopes.
