About this map

Fifteenmile Creek and its network of ephemeral tributaries define the high plains drainage on this portion of the Bighorn Basin. In this arid reach of Washakie County, the land is dominated by a complex system of draws and seasonal watercourses, including Rock Waterhole Creek and the meandering Bobcat Draw. The landscape's management is clearly delineated by the Big Horn and Washakie County boundary line, which cuts horizontally across the terrain near the passage of 15 Mile Road. This corridor represents a critical east-west connection through the sparse interior of the basin, following the natural contours shaped by the Timber Creek headwaters and Dry Cottonwood Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the public land survey system, showing the township and range divisions that have historically structured Wyoming's ranching and resource development.
