2021 Map of Devil Slide

About this map

Devil Slide and the surrounding high basins define this part of Hot Springs County, where the high desert terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages and deep canyons. The landscape is marked by the distinct elevations of Twin Buttes to the north and the topographic depressions of Jack Welch Basin and Grider Basin to the east. Transportation through this isolated area is largely restricted to Buffalo Creek Rd, which follows the path of Buffalo Cr through the northern half of the quadrangle. The survey captures a complex system of watercourses including S Fork Warm Springs Cr and Jones Cr, many of which have carved named features like Jones Creek Canyon and Grass Creek Canyon. While primarily an area of natural landmarks, the presence of Moore Springs indicates the vital importance of water sources in this dry Wyoming environment.
