2012 Map of Waltman NW

About this map

McClellan Ranch and Rochelle Ranch anchor the remote pastoral landscape of central Wyoming in this 2012 study. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses and seasonal catchments like Bad Water Creek Reservoir and Jackpot Reservoir, which support livestock in an otherwise arid environment. Ranching operations are connected by a network of unimproved routes, including Arminto Rd and Baker Cabin Rd, which traverse the broad expanse of Ralston Flats. To the south, Maple Ranch sits near the drainage of Poison Cr, while the rugged eastern topography is marked by the North Branch Cave Gulch. These features reflect a modern era of high-plains agriculture where named landmarks often center on essential water sources like Dean Springs and the legacy of early homesteading families.
