2015 Map of Sawmill Canyon

About this map

Gafford Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape where the boundaries of Natrona, Converse, Johnson, and Campbell counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage systems, notably the N Prong Dry Fork Powder River and the S Prong Dry Fork Powder River in the north. The area's topography is carved into named features like Sawmill Canyon and Schooner Canyon, alongside prominent ridges such as Pine Ridge. The naming of numerous draws, including Nick Ray Draw, Avery Draw, and Holmes Draw, suggests a landscape long utilized for ranching and livestock movement, where every fold in the earth was identified for navigation and water access.
