2021 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Little Cedar Ridge dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, a terrain defined by deep-cut draws and a sophisticated network of small reservoirs supporting ranching and land management in Washakie County. The map documents a complex system of seasonal water management, featuring named sites like Homestead Reservoir, Best Place Reservoir, and Big Trails Reservoir. These features, along with the meandering courses of Buffalo Cr and its northern fork, illustrate the vital role of water capture in this arid environment. Transportation through the high country is facilitated by established routes such as Big Trails Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, which navigate the various gulches and draws. The presence of Mud Gulch, Horton Draw, and Werland Draw highlights the erosion-carved character of the region, providing specific landmarks for researchers studying local geography and land use patterns.
