2017 Map of Wyola NE

About this map

The Little Bighorn River defines the western edge of this landscape, its course shadowed by the Fortymile Canal as it winds through the valley floor. This 2017 survey reveals an arid territory carefully managed for water, evidenced by a network of catchments including Brown Reservoir, Liming Reservoir, and Halfway Reservoir. These man-made features are vital anchors in a terrain dominated by drainage systems like Little Owl Cr and Lone Pine Cr. The prominent Chalk Butte and its adjacent Chalk Butte Reservoir serve as central landmarks within the Public Land Survey System grids of T7S and T8S. Local transit is limited to rural routes such as Little Owl Crk Rd and Big Owl Rd, which provide access to the high ground between the various creek branches. The map provides a contemporary record of land use and water rights in this portion of Big Horn County.
