2012 Map of Klondike Ranch

About this map

Klondike Ranch sits at the heart of this Wyoming landscape, where the foothills of the Bighorns meet a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Crazy Woman Mountain and Sisters Hill, which overlook a drainage system dominated by the North Fork and Little North Fork of Crazy Woman Creek. The map reveals an intricate legacy of water management in an arid environment, featuring numerous named irrigation works such as Blue Gap Ditch Number 19, Watkins Ditch, and Thompson and Mathews Ditch Number 35. To the north, Elgin Park provides a point of settlement near Elgin Cr, while the southern reaches are marked by the deep cuts of Gossett Canyon and Dry Muddy Canyon. Local ranchers and historians can trace the paths of historical access roads like Crazy Woman Canyon Rd and Billy Creek Rd as they navigate the ridges and draws of Johnson County.
