2021 Map of Tallon Spring

About this map

Tallon Spring is a focal point of this high-altitude drainage basin along the border of Washakie and Johnson Counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Otter Creek system, including the N Fork Otter Cr, Middle Fork Otter Cr, and S Fork Otter Cr. Distinctive landforms such as Eberhardt Vee, The Vees, and Box Canyon indicate a deeply incised topography where seasonal water sources like Deadmans Spring were essential for survival. Modern access to this remote corner of Wyoming is provided by Otter Creek Vee Rd and Dry Farm Rd, tracing routes through an area largely shaped by natural contours rather than dense human settlement. This map reveals the intricate network of canyons and forks that feed into the larger Bighorn Basin watershed.
