2021 Map of Y U Bench NW

About this map

Y U Bench dominates the high ground in this arid Park County landscape, where the management of water is the primary human footprint. The northern edge of the map features the Wiley Canal, while the southern reaches show the intricate paths of the Keystone Ditch and Jimmerfield Ditch. These irrigation features highlight the effort to move water across the basin's complex drainage network, which includes Dry Creek Basin and the winding N Fork Dry Cr. Notable landmarks like Red Point and Red Point Draw break the terrain, while Oregon Coulee marks a significant relief feature in the west. This 2021 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as RD 3ju and RD 3le, navigates the natural cuts and plateaus that define this corner of Wyoming.
