2015 Map of Red Canyon Creek

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this northeastern Wyoming landscape, where the high ridges of Williams Divide and Riflepit Divide carve through the terrain. The map captures a complex hydrological network defined by the Rocky Ford Reservoir and numerous named water sources like Sundance Cr, S Redwater Cr, and Red Canyon Cr. To the north, Government Valley provides a break in the elevation, while a series of deep draws and gulches, including Idol Gulch, Thompson Gulch, and Manhattan Gulch, reveal the erosional patterns characteristic of the Black Hills uplift. Local access is traced through a system of rural roads and forest routes such as Rifle Pit Rd, Moskee Rd, and Sand Creek Rd. For those researching local geography, the map identifies specific watering points like Cranberry Spring, Quail Spring, and Hamilton Spring that have long served as vital landmarks in this arid high-country environment.
