2017 Map of Linden

About this map

Linden serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Crook County, positioned where drainage systems meet the high-plains topography. The landscape is defined by its numerous topographic divides, including Newman Divide and Nefsy Divide, which dictate the flow of local waterways like Inyan Kara Cr and Houston Cr. These ridges create a complex network of canyons such as Montgomery Canyon and Oak Canyon, carving through the high country. In the southern reaches, the Hagerman Reservoir and the drainage of Little Pine Ridge Cr provide crucial water sources for this ranching and grazing land. The network of local roads, including Simmons Cut Off Rd and Old Sundance Rd, reflects the area's history of movement between small outposts and the natural barriers formed by the rising terrain of Little Pine Ridge.
