2012 Map of Grass Creek

About this map

Grass Creek serves as a central point in this part of Hot Springs County, situated within the distinctive natural bowl of the Grass Creek Basin. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage and water management, featuring historic properties like Dickie Ranch, Mayfields Ranch, and the Little John Ranch. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a network of drainage and irrigation, with Sun Ditch drawing from Gooseberry Cr in the north, while Enos Cr and Left Hand Cr feed into the regional system. The presence of Grass Creek Rd and Dickie Ranch Rd highlights the essential transportation corridors connecting these isolated ranching outposts. This map captures the modern footprint of a rural Wyoming community where the management of water remains as critical as the grazing lands themselves.
