About this map

The Greybull River cuts across the northern landscape of this Park County survey, where water management is central to the local geography. Significant infrastructure such as the Pitchfork Ditch and the Sunshine Supply Ditch illustrates the vital role of irrigation in this region. To the south, the terrain rises into the protected boundaries of the Shoshone National Forest, marked by numerous drainages including Gwinn Fork Dick Cr and N Fork Dick Cr.

Industrial activity is evidenced by the Four Bear Oil Field Rd in the northwest, providing access to regional energy resources near Four Bear Cr. The network of watercourses, from Paradise Cr to Franks Fork, defines the drainage patterns of these high-elevation slopes. This 2015 data provides a detailed record of the intersections between public forest lands, river-bottom ranching or farming, and the oil industry.
