2015 Map of Sheep Canyon Creek East

About this map

The high plains of Thunder Basin National Grassland dominate this portion of Weston County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and ranch roads defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by the branching waters of Fiddler Creek and Sheep Canyon Creek, which feed into larger systems like Beaver Creek. Human infrastructure is light but persistent, marked by essential water management features such as Minter Reservoir and a grid of access routes including Oil City Road and Butcher Road. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation provides a clear view of the modern land management boundaries within the public grasslands, documenting the intersection of natural watersheds like Spoon Creek and Mush Creek with the enduring section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
