2017 Map of Cinnamon Spring

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the southwestern corner of this Wheatland County landscape, where the terrain transitions from high ridges to a complex network of seasonal and perennial watercourses. The namesake Cinnamon Spring lies at the foot of these slopes, feeding into Cinnamon Cr as it winds toward the larger Big Elk Cr drainage. Significant topographic landmarks like Coffin Butte and the long spine of Jack Arthur Ridge dictate the movement of local tracks such as Big Elk Rd and Glynn Ln. The map also reveals mid-century water management efforts, most notably the Martin and C Bar J Reservoir in the northeast. This area, dominated by ranching and forest service lands, preserves a sparse but functional network of private lanes and creek-side crossings that have supported local cattle operations for generations.
