About this map

Jones Reservoir and the high desert plains of Big Horn County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights a complex network of seasonal drainages and water management features essential for the arid Wyoming environment, including the Sandstone Ditch and the aptly named Snort Geyser located near Snoopy Reservoir. These water sources are critical landmarks in a terrain dominated by the winding paths of Elk Cr and Antelope Cr.

The Public Land Survey System grid provides a structured framework over the topography, marking out townships such as t50n r94w and t51n r95w. This documentation from the U.S. Geological Survey offers a precise look at the hydrology and land divisions of the region, tracing the primary flow of Fivemile Cr and its tributaries across a landscape characterized by subtle elevation changes and expansive open space.
