2021 Map of Turk Springs

About this map

S Fork Red Fork Powder River flows through the northern reaches of this high-country landscape along the Washakie Co Johnson Co boundary. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct ridges and drainages that shaped early movement through the region, including Telephone Ridge, Poison Weed Ridge, and Robins Ridge. Settlement traces are sparse, centered on seasonal grazing lands like Bachaus Pasture and isolated water sources such as Rowan Spring and Carr Spring. Local transit is represented by limited vehicle paths like Barnum Mountain Rd and Bachus Pasture Rd, which connect the high plateaus and steep breaks of Devoe Canyon. This 2021 update documents the enduring ranching character and complex topography of the Bighorn Mountains' eastern slopes, where water features like Beaver Cr and Turk Springs remain vital landmarks.
