About this map

The Big Horn Co and Washakie Co boundary line divides this high-plains landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Bighorn Basin define the terrain. This 2021 survey reveals a sparse network of watercourses and isolated ranch roads, centered on the transit route of Ten Mile Rd. The hydrology is characterized by numerous ephemeral streams that cut through the flats, including the prominent Fivemile Cr, Sixmile Cr, and the branching headwaters of N Fork Tenmile Cr and Middle Fork Tenmile Cr.

Unlike many mountainous regions of Wyoming, this area is defined by its wide, open basins. The map illustrates how local topography influenced historical movement and grazing, with minor drainages like Dobie Cr and Alamo Cr providing the primary landmarks in an otherwise open range. This detailed record serves researchers tracking historical county lines or early twentieth-century land management boundaries across the Wyoming interior.
