About this map

Mahogany Butte rises over a high-desert drainage system in Washakie County, where the Nowood River meanders through a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and remote ranch access. The map captures a high-plateau environment where several significant tributaries, including Box Elder Cr, Redbank Cr, and Garden Cr, carve through the terrain. A notable human element in this arid stretch is the Need Water Reservoir in the northwest, a critical resource for local land management.

Access is provided by a network of rural routes such as Upper Nowood Rd and the Telephone Homestead Rd, which reflect the historic ranching and homesteading patterns of this part of Wyoming. The presence of State Land Acc labels indicates areas designated for public access within the sprawling ranch lands. The drainage pattern, featuring unique labels like S V Draw Nowood River, illustrates the complex topographical relief of the Big Horn Basin's eastern margins.
