About this map

Nowood River cuts through this high desert terrain in Washakie County, defining the eastern edge of a landscape characterized by intermittent drainages and ranching infrastructure. The presence of numerous small-scale impoundments, including Warner Reservoir, Flagstone Reservoir, and Last Hope Reservoir, illustrates the intensive water management required in this arid environment. These reservoirs are often tucked into the breaks of deep draws like Chimney Springs Draw and Fiscus Gulch, where seasonal runoff is captured for agricultural use.
