2017 Map of Onion Gulch

About this map

Bighorn National Forest defines the character of this Washakie County landscape, where deep canyons and high ridges dictate the movement of water and travelers alike. The drainage of Leigh Cr is central to the area's geography, featuring the Leigh Creek Vee and the strategically noted Leigh Creek Crossing near the historic Leigh Cabin. To the south, the terrain gives way to complex geological features such as the Canyon Creek Sinks and the steep walls of Canyon Creek Canyon. Numerous water sources, including Healy Springs, Camino Spring, and Beaird Spring, point to the importance of localized springs for early inhabitants and livestock in this high-altitude environment. Narrow routes like Onion Gulch Rd and Childs Creek Rd thread through the draws, connecting isolated landmarks like Post Draw and Brush Cabin Draw.
