About this map

Nowood River carves a winding path through this corner of Washakie County, defining a landscape of deep draws and canyon walls during the mid-1960s. The presence of the Upper Nowood Sch along the Upper Nowood Road suggests a dispersed but active ranching community. Water management is a central theme in this high-plains environment, evidenced by the Need Water Reservoir and numerous named drainages such as Box Elder Creek and Little Canyon Creek.

Private landholdings like the Hampton Ranch are marked by specialized infrastructure, including a private Airstrip. The topography is anchored by the prominent Mahogany Butte in the southwest, while a network of Jeep Trails provides access to remote springs and seasonal creeks like Cherry Creek and Garden Creek. This survey records the isolated and functional character of Wyoming's ranching country before modern developments altered these traditional rangelands.
