2021 Map of Jones Reservoir

About this map

Jones Reservoir serves as a primary water source in this high-plains landscape of Big Horn County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into larger basins. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow, including the distinct channels of Dorsey Cr and Elk Cr. One of the more unique hydrological features present is Short Geyser, located southeast of the main reservoir, indicating geothermal activity in this corner of the state. The infrastructure remains sparse, characterized primarily by Co RD 17 and a few secondary access routes that follow the contours of the land. These survey details provide a clear view of the hydraulic engineering and natural drainage patterns, from the S Fork Elk Cr to the eastern reaches of Antelope Cr, within the established township and range boundaries.
