About this map

Badwater Cr and its numerous tributaries dominate this high-desert terrain along the boundary of Fremont and Natrona counties. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the South Fork Badwater Cr and S Fork Badwater Cr converge to feed into more significant water bodies. Man-made water management is evident at Snyder Creek Reservoir and Okie Reservoir, which provide vital resources in an arid region characterized by ephemeral washes like Sand Cr and S Fork Sand Cr. The road network is sparse, consisting largely of primitive routes such as Lost Cabin Rd and Nowood Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages. This cartography illustrates a modern-era view of the Wyoming ranching and rangeland environment, where topography and water sources dictate the placement of transportation lines.
