2021 Map of S R Springs

About this map

S R Springs and Barrel Spring mark critical water sources in this section of the Powder River Basin, where a network of drainages defines the high plains landscape. The drainage system is dominated by the forks of Badger Creek, including the Middle Fork Badger Cr, S Fork Badger Cr, and Hill Prong Badger Cr. These waterways, along with Buffalo Cr and Jim Crow Cr, create a deeply incised topography of draws and gulches characteristic of Sheridan County. Named landforms like Mile Long Draw, Four X Draw, and Upton Gulch indicate a geography shaped by seasonal runoff and long-standing ranching tradition. Badger Creek Rd and Co Rd 86 provide the primary access through these survey townships, following the natural contours of the northern Wyoming rangeland.
