About this map

The Greybull River valley serves as the primary corridor of activity in this part of Park County, where the eponymous Sleepers Ranch is situated near the river's northern banks. This landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the fertile river bottom and the high desert terrain to the north. Dominating the central portion of the map is the Meeteetse Rim, an elevated landform that overlooks a network of seasonal drainages including Dry Cr and S Fork Dry Cr.

Transportation through this ranching country is anchored by the Burlington Meeteetse Rd, which follows the river's path, and secondary routes like Sleeper Rd and Rd 3LD that extend into the surrounding hills. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where ranching operations depend on the riparian environment provided by the Greybull, while the upland ridges remain largely undeveloped.
