2017 Map of Wood Canyon

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the northern reaches of this Crook County landscape, defining a transition between the open grasslands and the more complex drainage systems to the south. This 2017 survey captures a remote section of northeastern Wyoming where water management is critical to ranching, evidenced by Bush Reservoir and TL Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by a series of named ephemeral drainages and deep incisions such as Wood Canyon and North Wood Canyon, which provide significant topographic relief. Local navigation and property access rely on established routes like Bariod Rd and the New Haven-Rocky Point Rd. Significant family-named or descriptive landmarks like Hoback Draw, Wallace Draw, and Landing Strip Draw reflect the human history and historical use of these high plains.
