2017 Map of Flitner Reservoir

About this map

Flitner Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape in Big Horn County, a region defined by the water management systems necessary for ranching and agriculture in the Wyoming basin. This 2017 survey details the complex network of intermittent drainages and human-made improvements, including Walters Reservoir and the Anita Ditch, which redirect the flow from seasonal sources like Springs Cr and Alkali Cr. The terrain is dominated by the prominent rise of Blue Ridge in the southwest, sloping toward the deeply incised East Fork McDermotts Gulch. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, documenting the township and range boundaries that have organized this territory since its early settlement. It serves as a precise record of the modern hydrological footprint in a landscape where water rights and access remain central to the local economy.
