2012 Map of North Emblem Reservoir

About this map

Small earthen impoundments and dry drainage channels define the arid landscape of Big Horn County in this 2012 survey. The area is characterized by a series of named catchments, most notably the North Emblem Reservoir and the uniquely named Karate Reservoir to its west. These water management features are critical infrastructure in the high desert, capturing seasonal runoff from intermittent streams such as Little Dry Cr. The map shows a transition from open rangeland to more structured land divisions, with Lane 16 1/2 cutting across the northern boundary. Other significant water storage points including Jolly Reservoir, Cleopatra Reservoir, and Caesar Reservoir are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the strategic importance of water collection in this part of Wyoming.
