2021 Map of Red Canyon Creek

About this map

The Black Hills National Forest landscape in this area is defined by a series of prominent drainage divides and deep canyons cutting through northeastern Wyoming. Significant terrain features like Williams Divide and Riflepit Divide frame the drainage basins of S Redwater Cr and Sundance Cr. The northern reaches of the map include the flat expanse of Government Valley and the Rocky Ford Reservoir, which provided vital water resources in a region characterized by numerous intermittent gulches and draws. Historically significant routes such as Old US Hwy 14 and Moskee Rd traverse the high ground, connecting isolated springs like Cranberry Spring and Quail Spring. The intricate network of forest service roads, including Grand Canyon Rd, illustrates the ongoing management and access patterns within these timbered highlands during the early twenty-first century.
