2017 Map of Joe Emge Creek

About this map

The Nowood River meanders through this portion of Washakie County, defining a landscape shaped by drainage systems and water management. This high-plains terrain is marked by numerous small-scale water storage projects, including Last Hope Reservoir, Flagstone Reservoir, and Warner Reservoir. These catchments, often located near draws and gulches such as McClellan Gulch and Chimney Springs Draw, reveal the vital role of water rights and ranching infrastructure in this arid region. Transportation is anchored by rural routes like Fiscus Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, which provide access across the varied topography of Little Cedar Ridge. The presence of the Red Reflet Ranch Airport in the northeast corner highlights the intersection of modern private aviation with traditional Wyoming ranch lands, while numerous named drainages like Joe Emge Cr and Bud Kimball Cr map the intricate natural hydrology of the area.
