About this map

Leavitt Reservoir anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, situated at the edge of the Bighorn National Forest boundary. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems and high-altitude terrain, including the prominent Hunt Mountain to the east and the expansive Horse Creek Mesa to the south. Historically, the land use reflects a mix of remote ranching and timber management, evidenced by the presence of the Leavitt Ranch and numerous designated water sources like Stock Ponds and various Springs scattered across the draws.

Transportation through this high country relies on specialized routes such as the Beaver Creek Trail and the Davis Creek Road, which navigate the complex topography carved by North Beaver Creek and South Beaver Creek. The map details the transition from the protected forest lands into the surrounding Wyoming-Bighorn County territory, showing the intricate relationship between water management and the rugged cattle-grazing heritage of the region.
