2017 Map of Elk Basin

About this map

Elk Basin defines the north-western landscape of this Park County survey, where the arid terrain of northern Wyoming meets the Montana border. The map documents a sparsely populated but active region characterized by significant landforms like Polecat Bench and a network of intermittent watercourses including Cottonwood Cr and Silver Tip Cr. These seasonal drainages and draws, such as Little Cottonwood Draw and Cottonwood Draw, illustrate the drainage patterns typical of the high desert environment.
