2017 Map of Yellowstone Ranch

About this map

Yellowstone Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Fremont County, where water management is the primary driver of settlement and land use. The presence of the Samuel P Large Ditch and the Auer Reservoir indicates the critical role of irrigation in sustaining ranching operations amidst a complex network of drainage features. The terrain is defined by numerous draws, including Government Slide Draw and McTurk Draw, which feed into Beaver Cr and Cottonwood Cr. These seasonal watercourses carve through the topography, leading toward the prominent southeastern overlook of Beaver Rim. Transportation in this modern era relies on routes such as Beaver Creek Rd and Old Hwy 789, connecting the ranch to the wider region. The map also identifies remote landmarks like Devils Gap Spring and Shearing Pen Draw, reflecting the specialized livestock industry that has long shaped this part of Wyoming.
