2015 Map of Pocket Creek Lake

About this map

Big Sandy sits at the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the plains give way to the rising foothills of the Bridger National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of waterways, centered on the flow of the E Fork River and its numerous tributaries like Irish Canyon Cr and Muddy Cr. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, marked by prominent landmarks such as Chimney Butte and Aspen Butte. High mountain basins hold isolated bodies of water including Pocket Creek Lake, Cottonwood Lake, and Jim Lake. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern access roads like Aspen Butte Rd and Pocket Creek Rd navigate the township and range lines of this Wyoming wilderness, providing a clear record of the intersection between public land management and the natural hydrology of the region.
