About this map

Murphy Dome Draw and the high point of Black Mtn characterize this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Washakie and Hot Springs counties. The topography is defined by significant hydrologic networks, with Packsaddle Cr, Mud Cr, and Lake Cr carving distinct drainages through the terrain. The central Lake Creek Divide serves as a primary geographic separator between these watershed systems.

Surface infrastructure is dominated by unpaved access routes including Black Mountain Rd and Lake Creek Rd, reflecting a landscape primarily used for ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement. The presence of smaller tributaries like Gardner Cr and Cottonwood Cr underscores the complexity of the drainage patterns in this arid region of central Wyoming during the early twenty-first century.
