About this map

Wolf Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including East Wolf Creek and Dye Shields Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Sheridan County landscape. The mapping reflects a region where water management is critical to ranching and local life, evidenced by the presence of the South Side Ditch, Alliance Ditch, and Hanff Reservoir. Human settlement is centered around established family and commercial holdings such as the P K Ranch and the community of Wolf, while the higher elevations are protected within the Bighorn National Forest.

Traces of local history are preserved in the locations of the Wolf Creek Sch and early routes like the Roosevelt Trail and Ends Trail. The survey also marks more remote outposts like Lowe and Campbell, and illustrates the transition from high-mountain terrain to the lower ranchlands of Beckton. This 1993 revision, based on photographs dating back to 1963, provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of the rural West, from the Fourteenth Standard Parallel North to the Gaging Sta on the creek.
