About this map

Oregon Basin dominates this landscape in Park County, where the high desert terrain of the Big Horn Basin meets the eastern foothills of the Absaroka Range. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment defined by intermittent drainages such as Sage Cr and Spring Cr, alongside the depression of Wiley Lake. This area is characterized by its geological exposures, notably the formation labeled Slickrock and the descriptive Coal Mine Gulch in the southeastern quadrant.

Modern infrastructure is represented by Highway 120, which cuts north-to-south through the center of the sheet, and a network of named local routes like Wild Horse Rd and Nielson Rd. The presence of labels like Doc Bar Dr and Jackie Bee Dr suggest localized ranching or residential developments on the periphery of the larger basin, while the township and range lines of t52n r101w and t51n r100w provide the cadastral framework for this Wyoming territory.
