About this map

The high desert outskirts south of Cody reveal a landscape defined by water management and ranching infrastructure in this modern topographical survey. The Indian Pass area is marked by an extensive network of irrigation features, including the Indian Pass Lateral, Lakeview Ditch, and the prominent Cody Canal. These systems demonstrate the vital importance of water diversion in the arid basin of Park County, channeling resources toward the Cedar Ridge Reservoir.

Surface drainage is carved by several seasonal watercourses such as Sulphur Cr, Spring Cr, and Coal Cr, which flow through the undulating terrain south of the Shoshone River valley. Transportation into the more remote sections is facilitated by local routes like Hoo Doo Ranch Rd, Half Moon Rd, and Araphoe Trl. Modern land use is also evident near the northern border, where the Beck Lake Tri System - Prickly Pear Trl provides recreational access near the settled areas of the county.
