About this map

The Nowood River corridor in Washakie County anchors a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and complex topography. The presence of the Red Reflet Ranch Airport in the northeast quadrant highlights the modern utility of these large land holdings. Water management is a central theme across this arid terrain, evidenced by a series of named reservoirs including Warner Reservoir, Last Hope Reservoir, and Right Angle Reservoir, which support livestock and irrigation.

Erosion and drainage patterns have carved distinct landmarks such as McClellan Gulch, Woods Gulch, and Chimney Springs Draw. To the south, the terrain rises toward Little Cedar Ridge, while a network of rural routes like Fiscus Rd and Bud Kimball Rd provide access to the remote gulches. The survey captures the specialized water-collection systems essential to the High Plains, including the aptly named Bunning Reservoir and Paul Reservoir.
