2015 Map of Pedro

About this map

US Highway 16 cuts diagonally through this corner of Weston County, passing the settlement of Pedro as it skirts the southern reaches of the Thunder Basin National Grassland. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named canyons, including Black Canyon, Coyote Canyon, and Crane Canyon. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by several small impoundments such as the Y T Reservoir and the Bernard Howell Reservoir, which likely serve the ranching operations that characterize this part of the Wyoming plains. Near the southern border, Mondell Field and Home Ranch Draw indicate a history of local habitation and land use. The topography is further marked by the deep Sixmile Basin and several forks of Fourmile Creek, showing a rugged terrain where local roads like Dunham Rd and Seeley Rd navigate between the high ridges and watercourses.
