2017 Map of Emblem SE

About this map

Bighorn Basin terrain dominates this portion of Big Horn County, where the transition from high desert flats to carved drainages defines the local geography. The landscape is marked by the prominent Emblem Bench, an elevated landform that overlooks the seasonal path of Emblem Draw. This area represents a classic high-plains ranching and agricultural environment, structured by a grid of rural routes including Co Rd 14 and Co Rd 13 that follow township and range lines established by the Bureau of Land Management. Hydrology is characterized by intermittent flows such as Little Dry Cr and Dry Cr, which reveal the erosive patterns common in this arid Wyoming region. The placement of these watercourses and benches provides insight into historical land use and the reliance on specific topographic features for navigation and settlement in the basin.
