2021 Map of Kates Basin

About this map

Owl Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Wyoming, where the dramatic topography of Kates Basin forms a natural catchment for a complex network of seasonal drainages. The area is defined by its position along the boundary of Hot Springs and Fremont counties, illustrating the remote backcountry where these jurisdictions meet. The map reveals a drainage system characterized by the numerous branches of Mud Creek, including the Middle Fork Mud Cr, N Fork Mud Cr, and S Fork Mud Cr.
