2012 Map of Ucross

About this map

The small settlement of Ucross serves as the focal point of this Sheridan County landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways and irrigation systems. The reliance on water management in this arid region is evident through the extensive network of engineered channels, including the Pratt and Ferris Ditch Number 1, Big Bonanza Ditch, and Athorpe Rogers Ditch. These ditches, alongside features like Pitsch Reservoir and Little Red Reservoir Number 2, demonstrate the agricultural infrastructure required to sustain the land between Blazer Hill and the winding course of Clear Creek. Local travel is defined by rural routes such as Box Elder Road and Big Red Lane, which connect the scattered draws and creek beds that define the topography of northern Wyoming.
