2021 Map of Iron Creek

About this map

Sunshine sits at the confluence of the Wood River and Sunshine Creek, serving as a central point for the ranching and irrigation systems in this corner of Park County. The landscape is defined by its water management history, evidenced by the Pappapau Ditch and the aptly named Only Chance Ditch, which channel water toward the Lower Sunshine Reservoir. These engineered waterways reflect the necessity of managing the Greybull River drainage to support the high-altitude agricultural activity of the Bighorn Basin. In the northern and eastern reaches, the terrain transitions into a complex of drainage networks, including Rawhide Cr and Iron Cr, while remote access is maintained via Pitchfork Rd and LU Ranch Rd.
