2015 Map of Weintz Draw

About this map

The Nowood River and Paint Rock Cr converge in this high-desert landscape, creating a complex network of natural waterways and managed irrigation. The map reveals the heavy reliance on water management in the Big Horn Basin through features like the Ninety-six Canal, Anita Ditch, and several dispersed livestock or irrigation catchments including Brewster Reservoir and H G Reservoir. The terrain is defined by prominent uplifts such as Blue Ridge and the elongated Bentonite Ridge, which runs parallel to the river valley. Transportation in this area is a mix of county routes and industrial access, notably the Bonanza Oil Field Rd, reflecting the region's energy and ranching history. The boundary between Big Horn Co and Washakie Co bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, cutting through the drainage of Big Cottonwood Cr.
