About this map

The Meeteetse Rim anchors this Park County landscape, a prominent escarpment that overlooks a network of high-desert drainages including Sage Cr, Hoodoo Cr, and Squaw Cr. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Oregon Coulee and Coal Mine Gulch, which cut through the northern stretches near Cedar Ridge. This area shows the distinct transition between the high plains and the broken mountain foothills, where historical land use is marked by rural access routes such as Hoo Doo Ranch Rd and Meeteetse Creek Rd.

A network of seasonal forks, including S Fork Dry Cr and S Fork Sage Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of this arid region. The presence of Coal Mine Gulch points to the area's resource extraction history, while the ranching heritage is preserved in the naming of roads and the sparse distribution of human footprints across the varied elevations. This 2021 update maintains the essential survey boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships from T49N to T51N.
