2015 Map of Arvada

About this map

Arvada sits at the confluence of the Powder River and Clear Creek, serving as a focal point for this Sheridan County landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by the proximity to these vital water sources and the path of Us 14-16, which cuts through the northern half of the quadrangle. North of the town, the small settlement of Kendrick is situated among several named geographic features, including Weller Reservoir and Lake Draw. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of ephemeral drainages such as Hando Draw and Campbell Draw, reflecting the arid and highly eroded character of the Powder River Basin. Local road networks like Arvada Davis Rd and Crossing Rd provide access through the township boundaries of T55N and T54N, while water management features like Puffball Reservoir indicate the region's reliance on collected runoff for ranching or agricultural operations.
