About this map

Arapahoe Ranch serves as the central hub for this high-desert ranching landscape in Hot Springs County. The territory is defined by a complex drainage system where Owl Cr and its northern and southern forks converge near the ranch headquarters. Water security is paramount in this environment, evidenced by numerous named water sources such as Blue Hill Spring, Knight Spring, and Boghole Spring.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Little Table Mountain, overlooking a network of seasonal draws and creeks including North Fork Pumpkin Draw and Middle Fork Mud Cr. The road network, including N Owl Creek Rd and Red Canyon Rd, follows the natural contours of the valley floors, illustrating how topography dictated movement and settlement in this portion of Wyoming during the early 21st century.
