About this map

Schuster Flats characterizes this stretch of Washakie County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and irrigation infrastructure defines the high plains landscape. The eastern edge of the map reveals the critical importance of water management in this arid environment, marked by the Big Horn Canal and associated access via Big Horn Canal Rd and Upper Bluff Canal Rd. This managed water system contrasts with the natural, winding paths of Tenmile Creek and its tributaries, including the Middle Fork Tenmile Cr and N Fork Tenmile Cr.

Resource collection and land use are further evidenced by the Wide Draw Reservoir and Sand Butte Reservoir, which sit at the confluence of several prominent geographic features like Schuster Draw and Colter Draw. The terrain is deeply inscribed by these draws and gulches, such as Crooked Draw and Horse Gulch, illustrating a topographic history of erosion and water movement. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure used to navigate the region, including 15 Mile Rd and Ten Mile Rd.
