About this map

Linden stands as a primary landmark in this section of Crook County, where the landscape is defined by a series of high ridges and water-carved breaks. The drainage systems of Inyan Kara Cr and Houston Cr shape the terrain, leading into more complex geographical features like Montgomery Canyon and Dark Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the connectivity of the region through established routes such as the Sundance-Wind River Rd and Simmons Cutoff Rd, which navigate around prominent elevations like Newman Divide and Coal Divide.

The presence of Hagerman Reservoir in the southern portion suggests local water management for ranching or irrigation, while features like Little Pine Ridge and Oak Canyon indicate the varied topography characteristic of the Wyoming high plains. The map provides a clear picture of how modern rural infrastructure follows the natural contours of the land, connecting scattered homesteads and ranches through a network of local roads like Douglas Rd and Beaver Creek Rd.
