2015 Map of Oshoto

About this map

Oshoto anchors this high plains landscape in Crook County, where the headwaters of the Little Missouri River wind through a series of natural draws and ridges. The topography is defined by the Edsel Hills to the north and the prominent Pine Ridge to the south, creating a complex drainage network including Ash Draw, Brosa Draw, and North Draw. Local ranching and land use are reflected in the naming of geographic features like Sidner Flats and Sidner Draw, positioned near the Oshoto Reservoir. The area is networked by rural routes such as New Haven Rd and Cabin Creek Rd, which follow the contours of the terrain. This map documents a quiet corner of Wyoming where water sources like Deadman Cr and Good Lad Cr were vital to the early settlement and livestock economy of the region.
