About this map

Ten Sleep serves as the focal point of this Washakie County landscape, positioned at the confluence where Tensleep Cr meets the winding Nowood River. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Wyoming high-plains agriculture, including the Victoria Windsor Ditch, Victoria Ditch, and Standish Ditch. These waterways support the ranching and farming operations that branch out from the town center along the Old Tensleep Hwy.

The surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive geological features like Signal Butte and a series of drainages such as McClellan Gulch and Dry Gulch. Water management is further evidenced by the Rice Reservoir Number 1 and Smith Lake. To the north, the landscape transitions into more rugged territory carved by the Brokenback Cr system, including its north and south forks, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Big Horn Basin's eastern edge.
