2014 Map of Deep Creek SW

About this map

Lost Creek Spring and the high-elevation basin of Crater Lake define the complex drainage systems of this Big Horn County landscape. The mapping of Smallpox Cr and Lost Cr reveals a terrain where water management is critical, evidenced by the Lost Cr Ditch cutting through the northwestern sections. This 2014 survey captures a network of tributaries including Middle Cr, Hay Cr, and Shively Cr that eventually feed into the larger Pryor Cr system. The detailed contour work illustrates the significant elevation changes between the creek beds and the surrounding ridges, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology and land divisions across various townships, from t5s r26e down to the southern reaches of t7s r27e.
