2021 Map of Garland Hill

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through this portion of Crook County, carving a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and isolated uplands. Centrally located, Garland Hill rises above the surrounding terrain, flanked by the Edsel Hills to the southwest. This area is characterized by its intermittent water sources, such as Sand Spring and Cottonwood Spring, which were vital for livestock and early ranching operations in this arid environment. The map captures a complex system of named topographic depressions, including Alkali Draw, Gumbo Draw, and Garland Draw, illustrating the erosional patterns common in the northeastern Wyoming plains. Rural connectivity is maintained via the New Haven-Oshoto Co Rd, which traverses the high ground between the river basin and the various creek drainages like Corral Cr and Cracker Cr.
