2012 Map of Iron Creek

About this map

The Greybull River and Wood River converge in this high-desert ranching landscape of Park County, defining a region where water management is central to the local economy. Man-made infrastructure like the Pappapau Ditch and Only Chance Ditch divert precious flow to sustain the arid terrain, while the Lower Sunshine Reservoir provides a critical anchor for the area's hydrology. Small outposts and agricultural hubs such as Sunshine and Dumbell are scattered near these watercourses, connected by gravel routes like Road 4DT. To the southeast, Renner's Ranch sits near the drainage of Gooseberry Cr, illustrating the long-standing reliance on seasonal creek beds like Iron Cr and Little Buffalo Cr for livestock and land use in the Wyoming interior.
