About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders across the high plains of northern Crook County, carving a landscape defined by deep drainages and intermittent creek beds. This ranching country is marked by named draws such as Landing Strip Draw and Hoback Draw, which reflect the functional relationship between the terrain and its inhabitants. The presence of Bush Reservoir and T L Reservoir highlights the necessity of water management in this arid environment, where Bush Cr and Cedar Cr contribute to the watershed of the Little Missouri River.

The central portion of the map is dominated by the dramatic topography of Wood Canyon and North Wood Canyon. Remote access is maintained through gravel routes like Bariod Rd and McCollin Rd, which connect isolated sections of the township grid. For researchers, these local road names and named features like Wallace Draw provide specific points of reference for tracing historic land use and property boundaries in this corner of Wyoming.
