About this map

Owl Creek Rd and Cottonwood Creek Rd wind through this high-desert drainage system in Hot Springs County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal and perennial waterways that have carved deep channels into the landscape, notably Duncan Draw and the broad, open expanse of Riley Flat. The hydrography of the region is centered on the confluence and divergence of the N Fork Owl Cr and S Fork Owl Cr, alongside smaller tributaries like Red Cr and Dry Cottonwood Cr. This survey illustrates a traditional Western ranching and rangeland geography where roads strictly follow the contours of the valley floors, providing access to remote springs such as Rock Spring Cr. The map preserves the exact township and range boundaries that have governed land use in this part of the Owl Creek Mountains for over a century.
