About this map

Lost Creek and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this remote interior landscape of Washakie County, Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by broad basins and high ridges, with the Kennedy Basin serving as a prominent geographical marker in the northeast. This 2012 study illustrates the traditional movement patterns of the region, specifically through the Cherry Creek Stock Dr, a dedicated route reflecting the enduring livestock and ranching heritage of the area.

Transportation is primarily supported by unpaved corridors such as Mahogany Butte Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The drainage system is highly articulated, showing the convergence of Deep Creek and Little Deep Creek in the west, while Box Elder Creek drains the eastern slopes. These watercourses and stock drives indicate a landscape managed for high-desert grazing and transit between the higher elevations and lower basins.
