2024 Map of Section House Draw

About this map

West Pryor Mountain and the surrounding Pryor Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Carbon and Big Horn counties. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Black Canyon and the namesake Section House Draw, a geographic feature that reflects the historic rail-and-trail infrastructure once required to navigate these passes. Water sources are critical here, with named points like Sand Spring and Bird Spring serving as vital markers in an otherwise arid environment. Along the southern edge, the terrain drops toward Pryor Gap, a traditional mountain passage where Summit Creek and Pryor Gap Rd follow the natural contours of the land. The map also records numerous survey tracts and the winding courses of Fivemile Creek and Bluewater Creek, illustrating how the drainage patterns dictate the placement of ranch roads like Lester Rd.
