2015 Map of Leavitt Reservoir

About this map

Leavitt Reservoir anchors the southwestern corner of this landscape, a remote high-plains region defined by complex drainage systems and the rising terrain of the Bighorn National Forest. The map documents a rugged topography where water management is critical to the local economy, evidenced by the presence of the London Ditch cutting through the foothills. Higher elevations are dominated by Hunt Mtn and the broad expanse of Horse Creek Mesa, providing a look at the transition from creek-fed draws like Fenton Draw and Davis Draw to the steeper slopes of the national forest. Numerous waterways, including Hudson Falls Cr and several branches of Beaver Creek, carve deep into the landscape, illustrating the hydrological patterns of Sheridan County's interior wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century.
