2015 Map of Wolf

About this map

Wolf sits at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains, where the high plains meet the eastern boundary of the Bighorn National Forest. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and cattle ranching infrastructure, tracing the movement of water from the mountains to the valley floor. Numerous family-named and historical waterways like Grinnell Ditch, Old Reliable Ditch, and Garrard Ditch cut across the terrain, reflecting a long-established agricultural economy. The presence of the J and H Ranch Number 1 Reservoir and Hanff Reservoir emphasizes the importance of water storage in this arid environment. Significant natural features like Wolf Cr and Soldier Cr wind through deeply etched draws, such as Hanff Draw and Lowe Draw, providing a detailed look at the topographic character of Sheridan County during the mid-2010s.
