About this map

Tallon Spring and Deadmans Spring anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Bighorn Mountains region of Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network feeding into the Otter Creek system, including the N Fork Otter Cr, Middle Fork Otter Cr, and Dry Fork Otter Cr. These seasonal and perennial water sources carve through the geological formations of Box Canyon and the prominent ridges known as The Vees.

Human activity in this area is primarily represented by the isolated settlements or landmarks of Eberhardt Vee and Otter Creek Vee. Connectivity through this remote terrain is maintained by the rugged Otter Creek Vee Rd and Dry Farm Rd, which follow the contours of the land. The map also delineates the high-country border between Washakie Co and Johnson Co, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and political boundaries in the late 2010s.
