About this map

Meeteetse serves as the focal point for this mid-1980s topographical study of the eastern Big Horn Basin. The landscape is defined by the sweeping course of the Greybull River, which is flanked by intricate drainage systems and agricultural infrastructure like the various Ditch segments. This area shows a transition from the river valley to higher ground, marked by distinctive features such as Cemetery Hill and the unique formation known as Needles Eye.

Further east, the terrain becomes more broken with numerous draws including Wilson Draw and T L Draw. Local ranching footprints are evident at Sleepers Ranch, while the surrounding geography features descriptive local names like Hole in the Ground and Hillberry Rim. This map captures the water-dependent settlement patterns and the sprawling land use typical of northwestern Wyoming during this era.
