2011 Map of Cowley

About this map

The town of Cowley serves as the focal point of this Big Horn County landscape, positioned near the southern boundary where the grid of N Division St and County Lane 8 meets the waters of Sage Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by agricultural water management and mineral extraction, with the North Big Horn County Airport situated north of the primary settlement. The arid terrain is carved by Dry Creek and Peterson Creek, which feed into local catchments such as Jensons Pond and the Gyp Reservoir, the latter managed by Gyp Reservoir Dam and Teeples Dam. Highlighting the area's industrial character are several extractive sites including the Dry Creek Number One Mine, Dry Creek Number Two Mine, and the North of Cowley Mine. Significant geological and cultural landmarks like Petroglyph Canyon and the Cowley Cemetery provide points of interest for those studying the local heritage and topography of this northern Wyoming corridor.
