2017 Map of Wolf

About this map

Wolf sits at the base of the eastern slopes where the Bighorn National Forest meets the high plains of Sheridan County. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the Old Reliable Ditch, Alliance Ditch, and Grinnell Ditch, which divert water from mountain-fed streams like Wolf Cr and Soldier Cr to support agricultural life in the foothills. The terrain transitions from the deep cut of Windy Canyon Cr and the heights of the national forest down to a series of named draws such as Lowe Draw and Hammel Draw. Local transport is anchored by roads like Eatons Ranch Rd and Beckton Rd, which provide access to family holdings and remote ranching operations. The presence of the Hanff Reservoir and multiple diversions like the Dye-Shields Ditch underscores the historical reliance on water engineering to manage the arid environment of northern Wyoming.
