About this map

Shoshone National Forest defines the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Bighorn Basin take shape. This 2015 study focuses on the intricate drainage systems that feed the regional agriculture, featuring significant irrigation engineering such as the Nelson Ditch and the optimistically named Only Chance Ditch. The terrain is dominated by the Wood River and its numerous tributaries, including Rennerberg Cr and Brown Cr, which carve deep paths through the mountainous topography.

Access to this remote backcountry is traced by the Wood River Rd and Noon Point Rd, which provide passage to higher elevations near the prominent Noon Point. The map illustrates a landscape of active water management and seasonal access, where routes like the Gooseberry Trl and Sawmill Rd transition from established roads to primitive trails as they cross the county line between Park and Hot Springs counties.
