About this map

Padlock Rim stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this high-desert region of Hot Springs County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Pumpkin Draw, Spring Draw, and Kelly Draw, which feed into the meandering courses of Owl Cr and Mud Cr. Human intervention in this arid environment is visible through water management features such as Thompson Reservoir Number 1 and Thompson Reservoir Number 2.

A network of rural routes, including N Owl Creek Rd and W Mud Creek Rd, provides access across the various forks of the creek systems. The presence of Missouri Flat Rd and Red Canyon Rd suggests the historical importance of these corridors for ranching and resource management. This map illustrates the intersection of natural watercourses and the infrastructure necessary to sustain activity in the Wyoming interior during the early 21st century.
