About this map

The settlement of Story serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, situated at the boundary where the eastern plains meet the foothills of the Bighorn National Forest. This landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, including the Meade Coffinan Ditch, Prairie Dog Kruse Ditch, and Big Piney Divide Ditch, which redirect local creek flows across the undulating terrain. To the south and west, the elevation rises sharply toward Moncreiffe Ridge and Grandmas Mtn, marking the transition into protected forest lands.

Local landmarks such as Sullivant Hill and Orr Gulch provide geographic context for the area's development. The map also identifies the HF Bar settlement near Bear Gulch, while several named roads and trails like Story Penrose and Wagon Box Rd indicate the established network connecting the mountain interface. The drainage patterns of N Piney Cr and S Piney Cr illustrate the vital role of these water sources in the region's geography.
