2017 Map of Cherry Creek Hill

About this map

Cherry Creek Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this upland landscape of southern Washakie County, situated along the divide that separates various drainage systems. The Middle Fork Powder River carves through the lower portion of the terrain, joined by a complex network of tributaries including Bar C Cr, Sullivan Cr, and Spring Cr. This territory, mapped in 2017, illustrates the sparse infrastructure of the Big Horn Basin's southern reaches, where access is limited to a few arterial routes like Hazelton Rd and Cherry Creek Hill Rd. The southern boundary of the map coincides with the county line near Natrona Co, passing through the broad expanse of Kidd Flat. The mapping of these drainages, from Box Elder Cr to Rough Cr, provides a clear view of the water sources that have historically defined land use and movement through this high country.
