2012 Map of Cherry Creek Hill

About this map

The Middle Fork Powder River carves through this high-plains landscape in Washakie County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous seasonal creeks. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, most notably at Cherry Creek Hill, which overlooks the surrounding basin. This 2012 USGS survey reflects a region primarily shaped by ranching and resource access, with the road network including Hazelton Rd and 33 Mile Rd providing critical transit through the open range. Water sources like Bar C Cr and Rock Cr are vital features in this arid environment, while Kidd Flat provides a rare stretch of level ground amidst the dissected hills. The mapping of these ephemeral streams and minor roads illustrates the infrastructure required to manage and navigate the expansive Wyoming interior.
