About this map

Hecla sits within a high-elevation landscape defined by early 21st-century water management systems in Laramie County. The terrain is marked by a sequence of man-made water bodies and diversion works, including the N Crow Diversion Reservoir, Renslaer Reservoir, and Schuyler Reservoir. To the west and south, the major impoundments of Granite Springs Reservoir and Crystal Lake Reservoir dominate the topography, framed by the prominent Granite Ridge and Crystal Ridge.

Infrastructure in this portion of the Wyoming high plains is characterized by access routes like Happy Jack Rd and a network of specialized irrigation and transport features such as the Whitney Ditch. The presence of Table Mtn and significant drainages like McIntyre Draw highlights the complex drainage patterns of the Middle Crow Cr and its various forks, illustrating how this area serves as a critical catchment and storage zone for the region.
