About this map

Thomas Reservoir sits at the center of this high-elevation landscape in Park County, where the hydrology of the Absaroka Range foothills is intricately mapped. The drainage patterns define the territory, with Little Rawhide Cr and the larger Rawhide Cr carving through the western sections. These seasonal and perennial waterways are critical to the region's ranching history, supporting life in an arid environment.

To the north and south, the terrain is further segmented by Short Fork Meeteetse Cr and Pickett Cr. The map preserves the specific Public Land Survey System divisions, including t49n r103w and t48n r103w, which illustrate how this part of Wyoming was organized into townships and ranges. This 2021 update by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the water resources and land boundaries that have shaped the local grazing and water-rights history.
