About this map

West Pryor Mtn dominates the eastern elevation of this landscape on the border of Carbon and Big Horn counties. The topography is defined by sharp vertical relief and a complex network of drainages, including the prominent Section House Draw and the deep incision of Black Canyon. Water sources are critical in this high-altitude environment, marked by isolated points like Sand Spring and Bird Spring, which feed into various branches of Fivemile Cr and Bluewater Cr.

Transportation through the area is restricted by the terrain, with Pryor Gap Rd providing passage through the strategic Pryor Gap in the southeast. Other routes like Lester Rd trace the lower elevations near N Fork Bluewater Cr. This survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates a territory shaped by its geology and the necessary adaptations of travel to its steep ridges and narrow draws.
