About this map

Tallon Spring and numerous unnamed Springs define the hydrology of this high-elevation plateau on the boundary of Washakie and Johnson counties. The landscape is dominated by the intricate drainages of Otter Creek, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork, which carve through distinct geological formations such as The Vees and Eberhardt Vees.

Resource management and high-country transit are evident through the network of rugged tracks, including the Stock Drive Road, Vee Road, and various Jeep Trails. A solitary Landing Strip near the center of the quadrangle suggests the necessity of aerial access in this remote territory. The presence of features like Deadmans Spring and Crooked Creek reflects the character of the terrain, where water sources were critical markers for ranchers and early surveyors navigating the complex draws and canyons of north-central Wyoming.
