2021 Map of Wedding of the Waters

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Wind River transitions into the Bighorn River at the distinctive landmark known as the Wedding of the Waters, a geographic name for the point where the river flows out of the deep canyon into the open basin. This 2021 survey of the Hot Springs region shows the river winding through steep terrain characterized by massive formations like The Block and the sharp lookout at Windy Point. The small settlement of Minnesela sits along the western bank near the river's transition point, connected by a network of rural roads including S Yellowstone Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd. The landscape is deeply incised by numerous seasonal watercourses and topographic features such as Teeter Canyon, Buffalo Canyon, and Johnson Draw. For the researcher, this map provides a clear view of the modern road access and land management boundaries in this high-desert canyon environment.
