About this map

Dry Fork Ridge defines the high ground in this section of Phillips County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and man-made water catchments supports the high plains landscape. The drainage system is anchored by Dry Fork Creek and its major tributary, the West Fork Dry Fork Creek, which are supplemented by numerous small-scale water projects including Happy Gang Reservoir, Dusky Reservoir, and Wrangler Reservoir.

Evidence of local resource extraction is visible through the presence of the Buckhorn Pit and Turkey Track Pit, positioned near the northern reaches of the ridge. Further south, the terrain is marked by Beauchamp Creek and Trine Creek, with infrastructure like the Current Dam and Sorrell Reservoir illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid region. The primary transit route, Dry Fork Rd, provides the central axis for navigating this sparsely populated rangeland.
