2015 Map of Tallon Spring

About this map

Tallon Spring and Deadmans Spring provide vital water points in this high-altitude landscape where the Bighorn Mountains meet the eastern edge of Washakie County. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system feeding into the Otter Creek watershed, featuring the N Fork Otter Cr, Middle Fork Otter Cr, and S Fork Otter Cr. Distinctive V-shaped geological formations, including Eberhardt Vee, The Vees, and Otter Creek Vee, mark the deep incisions made by these watercourses. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region primarily accessed by routes like Dry Farm Rd, highlighting the intersection of the Washakie and Johnson county line. The presence of Box Canyon and Rimrock Draw further emphasizes the dramatic vertical relief and traditional ranching landscape of north-central Wyoming.
