2021 Map of Wilcox

About this map

Wilcox and the northern outskirts of Rock River anchor this topographic view of the Wyoming high plains in Albany County. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management, where numerous irrigation channels such as Johnston Ditch, Bluff Ditch, and Bosler Ditch Number 3 divert water across the flats. These man-made waterways crisscross the natural drainage of Rock Creek and Meiser Cr, illustrating the area's deep-rooted reliance on water rights and ranching infrastructure. Rural roads like Banzhaf Ln and Thornton Ln provide access to the dispersed holdings within the township and range grid. This study captures the intersection of natural hydrology and engineering, preserving the layout of the high-desert prairie as it functions today.
