2017 Map of Devils Kitchen

About this map

Devils Kitchen anchors this landscape in Big Horn County, where the topography of the Bighorn Basin is defined by a complex network of ridges, draws, and irrigation infrastructure. The agricultural history of the region is evident in the engineered waterways, including Porter Canal, Shell Canal, and Whaley Ditch, which redirect water from Shell Cr to support the surrounding lands. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Odessa Cem south of Potato Ridge. The map shows a transition from structured land use to more varied terrain near Herren Gulch and Sheldon Gulch. In the northern portion, the landscape is marked by industrial and transit routes like Bentonite Rd and Crystal Creek Rd, highlighting the intersection of resource extraction and local ranching travel patterns.
