2017 Map of Little Buffalo Basin

About this map

Little Buffalo Basin dominates the central landscape of this Wyoming quadrangle, where the borders of Park and Hot Springs counties meet. This area, largely defined by its drainage systems, is etched with the courses of Buffalo Cr and Little Buffalo Cr in the north, while the southern portion is crossed by Gooseberry Cr and Middle Cr. The presence of industrial and agricultural transit routes, such as the Lu Ranch Rd/Encore Oil Rd/Upper Gooseber and Dickie Ranch Rd, points to the intersection of the region's ranching heritage and energy resources. These roads follow the natural contours of the basin, connecting the sparse high-country infrastructure. The mapping also delineates township and range lines across t48n r100w and t47n r99w, providing a framework for land ownership and resource management in this corner of the state.
