2015 Map of Tonopah Ridge

About this map

Tonopah Ridge dominates the southern landscape of this high-elevation Wyoming survey, where the drainages of Rawhide Cr and Spring Cr carve into the terrain. The region is defined by its water management systems, notably the Joe Moss Ditch and Long Hollow Ditch, which redirect flow through the northern sections near Meeteetse Rim. These man-made features, alongside the Rush Cr Reservoir and Horse Cr Number 1 Reservoir, suggest a landscape utilized for ranching or irrigation at the foot of the Absaroka Range. The topography is also shaped by several forks of Meeteetse Cr, which flow through the northern edge near Meeteetse Creek Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the varied basins, such as Spring Creek Basin, and the land divisions of the Public Land Survey System that govern this portion of Park County.
