About this map

The Owl Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in northern Wyoming, where sharp topographic relief defines the landscape. Landmarks like Jenkins Mtn and the prominent Twin Buttes provide clear navigational markers across the township grid. The drainage pattern is led by Cottonwood Cr, which winds south through the central portion of the map, joined by various ephemeral flows including those from Miners Gulch and Trail Canyon.

Modern access is primarily limited to the Shotgun Butte Rd in the southwestern corner, reflecting the remote nature of this part of Fremont County. For researchers, the map preserves the exact alignment of drainage systems like Muddy Creek and E Fork Sheep Cr, alongside high-elevation features like Jenkins Basin, which remain vital for understanding the local geography and historical land use in this mountain-front environment.
