About this map

Emblem, an unincorporated community in Big Horn County, is the focal point of this western Wyoming landscape where the Great Divide Basin meets the Bighorn Basin. The settlement and the elevated Emblem Bench are defined by the vital presence of water in a semi-arid environment, with irrigation and drainage patterns visible in the paths of Horse Cr and Dry Cr. The terrain is marked by significant erosion features including Emblem Draw and Foster Gulch, which cut through the township and range divisions.

The northern section of the map reveals the management of water resources at Sore Finger Reservoir and the winding Sand Draw. These features, alongside Foster Gulch Rd, illustrate the intersection of natural topography and human infrastructure. This 2015 survey captures the area's agricultural and rural character, highlighting how local geography dictates the layout of roads like Road 10 and CR-33.
