About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this section of Crook County, where the settlement of Moskee sits at the base of Adams Gulch. The landscape is a complex network of drainage systems and ridges, characterized by the prominent Williams Divide to the north and deep cuts like Grand Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon to the east. The area's hydrology is marked by numerous isolated water sources, including Willow Springs and Buckley Spring, which historically supported livestock and remote homesteading in this high-country environment.

Transportation through these drainages relies on a series of forest and branch roads, such as Grand Canyon Rd and Rattle Rd. The mapping of named draws like Calvary Sacket Draw and Schoolhouse Gulch suggests a history of localized naming by early settlers and ranchers who navigated these canyons. This 2015 survey provides a modern record of the land divisions and forestry routes that continue to define this part of Wyoming.
