2014 Map of Section House Draw

About this map

Pryor Gap serves as a critical geographic passage in this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Carbon County and Big Horn County is defined by the rugged divide. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Black Canyon and the namesake Section House Draw, while W Pryor Mtn anchors the eastern topography. Water sources are predominantly forks and creeks, including the drainage systems of Fivemile Creek and Bluewater Creek. Human presence is marked primarily by foundational infrastructure like Pryor Gap Rd and Lester Rd, which navigate the complex elevations. This survey captures the area’s ranching and transit character, showing how road networks were forced to follow the natural breaks in the mountain front, particularly through the significant opening at the gap near Summit Creek.
