About this map

Padlock Ranch serves as the central focal point of this Big Horn County landscape, situated where the meandering Tullock Creek flows through the central valley. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and prominent relief, including Gracy Butte in the northwest and the Red Hills to the east. This 2011 survey reveals a typical Western ranching layout, where local transportation relies on routes like Sarpy Rd and County Rd 57 to navigate the undulating ground between numerous waterways.

Water management and natural drainage are clearly vital to the area, with a dense network of seasonal and perennial streams such as Plum Creek, West Cabin Creek, and East Cabin Creek branching off from the main Tullock Creek corridor. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 21st century, showing how the ranching operation interacts with named landmarks like Big Meadow Creek and Little Meadow Creek.
