2020 Map of Wyola NE

About this map

Chalk Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Big Horn County, overlooking a landscape defined by ranching water infrastructure and intermittent stream beds. This 2020 survey illustrates a sophisticated network of water management, ranging from the Fortymile Canal in the northwest to numerous upland catchments such as Steinhilber Reservoir and Liming Reservoir. The drainage patterns of Owl Cr, Little Owl Cr, and Halfway Cr dictate the local topography, while gravel routes like Little Owl Crk Rd and Big Owl Rd provide the primary access through these grazing lands. The map detail reflects the modern spatial organization of the area, maintaining the historic Public Land Survey System divisions while highlighting the vital role of water storage in this semi-arid environment through features like Chalk Butte Reservoir and Halfway Reservoir.
