About this map

The winding course of Blacks Fork defines the rugged, high-desert drainage patterns of this corner of Wyoming. Located primarily within the public lands of the Ashley National Forest, the terrain is marked by deep erosional cuts and high points like the eponymous Massacre Hill. The map detail reveals a landscape defined by seasonal hydrology, where Little Dry Cr and Big Dry Creek carve paths through the plateau.

Evidence of the region's historical surveying is found in the prominent township and range boundaries, such as the intersection of t17n r109w and t17n r108w. These divisions contrast with the natural flow of Chicken Draw, illustrating the grid-based land management common in the American West. The lack of modern residential development highlights the preservation of this area for forest management and natural resource protection.
