2012 Map of Sand Point

About this map

Orchards Cow Camp sits in the southern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, representing the enduring ranching character of Washakie County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems and ridges, including the prominent Shanty Ridge and the distinct elevation of Chalk Butte. Seasonal water management is evident at the Cottonwood Trail Reservoir, while the natural flow of Buffalo Springs Cr and the W Fork Buffalo Cr carve through the high plains. Remote access is provided by unpaved tracks such as Blue Bank Rd and the aptly named Devils Slide Rd, which navigate the complex topography near Sand Point. These labels reveal a landscape primarily utilized for livestock and resource management, where named draws like Brome Draw mark the subtle shifts in the arid environment.
