2017 Map of Coyote Hill

About this map

Kirby Cr winds through this arid section of the Bighorn Basin, where the border of Washakie and Hot Springs Counties meets. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and high points, notably Monument Hill and Coyote Hill. Water remains a central element of the local geography, evidenced by the Kirby Cr Reservoir and several named springs like Malcolm Spring and Brontley Spring. Human activity is sparse but present through the connectivity of Black Mountain Rd and Murphy Dome Rd. The presence of the Rathbun Ranch in the southeast corner suggests the enduring livestock and ranching traditions that characterize this part of Wyoming. Local relief is further detailed by numerous coulees and draws, including Blue Springs Draw and Major Basin Draw.
