2021 Map of Wagon Prong

About this map

Wagon Prong and its surrounding high-desert drainage system define this 2021 survey of Washakie County. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small-scale water management, evidenced by numerous named stock ponds such as Old Quaker Reservoir, Hampton Reservoir Number 5, and Davis Reservoir Number 2. These scattered features reveal the critical importance of water storage for ranching in this arid region. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations and erosion patterns, including Devils Slide and multiple deep drainage channels like Scorpion Draw and Deadman Draw. A network of unpaved routes, including Devils Slide Rd and the E Fork Nowater Trl, provides access across the townships. This map offers a clear view of how land use and local geography have been shaped by the presence of ephemeral streams like Nowater Cr and natural collection points at The Seeps.
