2012 Map of West Pass

About this map

Fuller Ranch and the Kern Ranch anchor this 2012 survey of the high Wyoming landscape, where the headwaters of the Dry Fork Little Bighorn River wind through the Sheridan County hills. The map illustrates a high-altitude drainage network where creeks like Elkhorn Cr and Red Canyon Cr carve through distinct geological features such as Broderick Flat and Taylor Flat. This is ranching country, defined by scattered property holdings and a primitive road system including the Dayton-Slack-Montana Rd and Pass Creek Rd. The terrain climbs toward the prominent Riley Point and the namesake West Pass, while small water bodies like Dana Reservoir and Dinwiddie Lake provide vital water resources in an environment characterized by broad plateaus like T R Bench.
