2012 Map of Horse Peak

About this map

Horse Peak overlooks a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle ranching in this Wyoming survey. The map records the essential water sources that support the local economy, including Stinking Cr, Elk Cr, and Lawn Cr. These waterways dictate the placement of local homesteads such as Body Ranch and Kirk Ranch, which sit isolated amidst the drainage network. A significant piece of agricultural infrastructure, the Bates Hole Stock Trl, cuts across the northeastern corner of the sheet, providing a dedicated corridor for moving livestock. The map illustrates a contemporary livestock-driven economy where the availability of water at places like Lone Tree Cr and Hunt Cr remains the most critical factor for land use and settlement.
