2011 Map of Simmons Canyon

About this map

Moss Ranch stands as a focal point in this 2011 survey of the northern Big Horn Mountains, where water management and seasonal livestock grazing define the landscape. This high-altitude drainage network is anchored by Porcupine Creek and Deer Creek, with numerous named water sources such as Godes Springs and Dipping Vat Springs indicating the practical needs of ranching in this arid environment. The southern portion of the map is dominated by a series of rugged terrain features, including Little Mountain and the deep incisions of Vopats Canyon and Simmons Canyon. The Presence of High Ditch further highlights the historical efforts to divert water for agricultural use across this remote Wyoming territory.
