About this map

The Greybull River carves a winding path through the heart of Park County, Wyoming, anchoring an arid landscape defined by complex water management and ranching operations. The Y U Ranch and its accompanying Yu Ranch Airport stand as primary focal points of human activity in this corner of the Bighorn Basin. Evidence of agricultural adaptation is visible through an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Keystone Ditch, Rankin Ditch, and Old House Ditch. These channels redirect water from the river to support the surrounding plains.

Elevated terrain features like Sheets Flat and the dramatic descent of the Beaver Slide contrast with the riparian corridor. Further inland, Coyote Canyon and drainage features such as Blackstone Gulch and Mackey Gulch illustrate the seasonal runoff patterns of the region. The map also records the location of the McGee Reservoir, a critical water storage site for local livestock and land management.
