2017 Map of Amend Ranch

About this map

Amend Ranch stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape where the borders of Converse and Niobrara counties meet. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Watkins Draw and the winding course of Muddy Cr to the south, while Lost Cr cuts through the western reaches. This area is characterized by a sparse network of county roads, such as Harris Rd and Baars Rd, which facilitate movement between isolated homesteads and grazing lands. A significant site for local history is the Prairie View Cem, situated on the eastern edge of the quadrangle near the county line. The map illustrates the sprawling nature of Wyoming ranchland in the early twenty-first century, showing how property boundaries and water rights continue to shape the rural settlement pattern in this section of the state.
