2012 Map of Emblem

About this map

Emblem serves as the primary focal point in this high-desert region of Big Horn County, Wyoming, situated at the junction of several rural routes including Co Rd 9 and Co Rd 10. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Bighorn Basin, where seasonal waterways like Horse Cr and Dry Cr carve through the arid terrain. A significant man-made landmark in this sparsely populated area is the Sore Finger Reservoir, located in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a transition in land use, showing the grid of county roads such as Co Lane 33 that support local ranching and agricultural operations. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern infrastructure and water management systems necessary to sustain life in this corner of the state.
