2012 Map of Cabin Fork

About this map

The high desert drainage system of Washakie County is defined here by a network of seasonal forks and draws. Cabin Fork and Hawks Nest Fork converge in a landscape marked by industrial access and water management, notably at the Lyman Reservoir Number 1. This 2012 survey illustrates how the region's ranching and energy infrastructure rely on these intermittent watercourses, including Joe Henry Fork and the E Fork Nowater Cr. Human activity in this arid terrain is evidenced by specialized sites like the Macaroni Pit and the presence of utility roads such as Mobil Rd and Teepee Pole Rd. The geography of Deadman Draw provides a look into the localized naming conventions typical of the Wyoming interior, where every creek, like E Fork Sand Cr, serves as a critical landmark for navigation and land use.
