BIG GOOSE CREEK DRAINAGE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
The Big Goose flows out of the east slope of the Bighorn Mountains, between the Little Goose drainage
to the south and the Wolf Creek drainage to the north. In Sheridan, it joins the Little Goose, then
commences north to join the Tongue River east of Ranchester. The Big Goose’s upper reaches include a
number of reservoirs, many of which are shared with Little Goose users through transbasin diversions like
the Peralta Ditch.
CHARACTERISTICS
State Engineer’s Office water commissioners/hydrographers set a maximum loss on the creek at 10
percent (head to mouth), thanks in part to the creek’s steep descent to the valley.
Available reservoir storage water in the Big Goose drainage helps moderate changes in irrigation
practices from dry years to wet years. Return flows are reduced in dry years in comparison to wet or
average years, requiring water commissioners to maintain more water in the main stem to serve
downstream demands.
In addition, irrigators are tending toward more conservation of the water they use, increasing the use of
sprinkler irrigation. This has the effect of reducing return flows to the creek.
The Big Goose drainage very seldom goes into regulation.
Water commissioners allow 15-20 cfs of diversion into the Little Goose drainage via the Peralta Ditch and
Park Diversion to enhance flows in the Little Goose as long as there is ample supply in Big Goose Creek.
USAGE
The Big Goose’s diversions are primarily used for agricultural irrigation but are also used to supply stock,
municipal, and industrial demands.
Stored Water Use
Water commissioners estimate that irrigators on the Big Goose typically begin to use their stored water
according to the following timing:
| Wet Year |
Average Year |
Dry Year |
|---|
| End of July |
Mid-July |
June |
Agriculture
Growers in the Big Goose drainage tend to plant acreage as approximately 50 percent grass hay and 50
percent alfalfa.
Irrigation Practices
Irrigation practices are broken out per diversion in the following diversion memoranda.
The typical irrigation season runs from April 15-May 1 (depending on whether the spring runoff is
delayed by a cold weather) to early October (depending on when the first snows fall and the ground
freezes). Post season irrigation is not practiced in the Big Goose drainage as a rule because reservoirs are
shut off on the first of October.
Double Appropriation
Irrigation water rights with priority dates of March 1, 1945 or earlier are entitled to an additional 1cfs per
70 acres under Wyoming’s surplus water statutes. Whenever the supply in a stream exceeds the amount
required to satisfy all existing appropriations established prior to March 1, 1985, the stream is said to be
in an excess flow condition and water right holders with priorities between March 2, 1945 and March 1,
1985 may use an additional 1 cfs for each 70 acres irrigated.
On the Big Goose, this practice is limited primarily by the condition of ditches. Many of the ditches are
not capable of carrying all of the water an irrigator could use.

WATER RIGHTS
Two water rights summary tables are provided for each diversion serving irrigation referenced here. The
first, included in the body of the diversion synopsis, refers to the rights on record with the State
Engineer’s Office and is derived from that office’s Tabulation of Adjudicated Surface Water Rights of the
State of Wyoming, Water Division Number Two (Oct. 1999).
Because this rights summary is pulled directly from the SEO Tab, the rights cited follow the SEO’s
priority order:
| Hierarchy |
Format of right |
Example |
|---|
| 1 |
Day, Month, Year |
05-15-1884 |

| 3 |

| 4 |

| 5 |

Board orders or court orders may also establish a specific priority.
Irrigated Lands Water Rights Database
The second table, which follows the diversion synopsis, is taken from the irrigated lands water rights
database developed for the basin plan. It can be used as a reference with the following caveats: It only
lists water rights associated with the irrigated lands polygons mapped by HKM. The table does not
include nonirrigation rights devoted to reservoir supply, municipal, fish propagation, etc. The rights on
this table are associated only with those irrigated lands identified through the course of this study, both
actively irrigated and currently idle.

KEY DIVERSIONS
| Diversion: |
ALLIANCE DITCH DIVERSION |
| Date |
5 Sep. 2000 |
| Note: |
Despite its relatively junior right, this ditch diverts all of the
flow in Big Goose Creek under normal conditions, allowing return flows to satisfy
downstream (and senior) rights. In addition, the ditch traverses gravel benches,
resulting in higher than typical seepage losses. |
Alliance headgate. |
| Diversion Description: |
Headgate consists of a single, 3.5 x 2.5-foot steel gate
in steel slides operated with a Waterman-type screw, mounted in a steel
headwall. Water is carried through a 3.5-foot corrugated metal pipe directly
behind the headgate. |
| Diversion Location: |
The alliance Ditch diversion is located on the main stem of the Big Goose,
well down stream of the canyon.

Grinnell Ditch Headgate & Dam |
| Note: |
The Grinnell Ditch’s supplementary rights reverted back to their original
appropriation from Wolf Creek in 2000. |

The Grinnell Ditch diversion is located on the main stem of Big Goose
Creek, below the confluence of the Big Goose and Little Goose creeks
and downstream of Sheridan. |

KEY DIVERSIONS
| Diversion: |
PARK DIVERSION DITCH
AKA: Park Reservoir Diversion, Park Diversion below Park Reservoir |
| Date |
5 Sep. 2000 |
| Note: |
The Park Diversion Ditch represents a transbasin diversion, conveying
water from the East Fork of Big Goose Creek to Willow Creek, a
tributary of Little Goose Creek. |
| Diversion Description: |
Headgate consists of a single, large concrete structure built as part of the
Park Reservoir outlet. |
| Diversion Location: |
The Park Diversion Ditch is located at the outlet of Park Reservoir, in the
headwaters of Big Goose Creek. It conveys water from just below Park
Reservoir to Willow Creek, which joins the Little Goose. |
|
| Headgate: |
| Lat. |
Long. |
| N 44° 34' 12.2'' |
W 107° 12' 37.9'' |
|
| Conveyance Description: |
Open channel canal, approximately 1.5 miles long. |
| Direct Flow Water Rights: |
None. The structure was built to accommodate transfers of stored water
from Park Reservoir into the Little Goose Creek drainage. |
| Associated Storage Rights: |
Park, Bighorn, and Cross Creek reservoir water can be conveyed through
the Park Diversion Ditch. |
| Irrigation Practices: |
No irrigation diversions occur along this ditch. |
| Return Flows: |
The lack of irrigation obviates return flows. |
| Losses: |

KEY DIVERSIONS
| Diversion: |
PK (PATRICK) DITCH DIVERSION |
| Date |
5 Sep. 2000 |
PK Ditch Headgate |
| Note: |
The PK Ditch crosses a number of gravel seams, losing much water in
conveyance. The recent acquisition of the PK Ranch by the Nature
Conservancy and Bob Barry has meant increased sprinkler usage and a
heightened interest in water conservation and instream flows. The two
new owners have approximately 2,000 acre-feet of storage between
them. |
| Diversion Description: |
Headgate consists of a single, 4.2 x 3.5-foot steel gate in a wooden frame
operated with a Waterman-type screw, mounted in a concrete headwall. |
| Diversion Location: |
The PK Ditch diversion is located on the main stem of the Big Goose,
adjacent to the City of Sheridan’s intake. These diversions represent the
first diversions on lower Big Goose. |

| Associated Storage Rights: |
Irrigators on the PK use stored water from Park, Dome Lake No. 1, and
Sawmill reservoirs. |
| Irrigation Practices: |
Irrigators tend to use approximately 60 percent sprinklers and 40 percent
ditch-flood irrigation to serve their crops. |
