About this map

The Tongue River and Prairie Dog Creek define the drainage patterns of this Sheridan County landscape near the Montana border. Water management is a central theme of the geography, evidenced by the extensive path of Prairie Dog Ditch Number 13 and Prairie Dog Ditch Number 14, alongside the Gorman Reservoir Number 2 and its associated Gorman Number 2 Dam. The area's industrial footprint is marked by the Evans Badger Creek Mine in the north and the Carneyville Mine further south, illustrating the region's historical ties to resource extraction.

Named draws and canyons carve through the terrain, revealing a network of local landmarks like Bar N Draw, Cedar Canyon, and Wheat Draw. Local transit relies on rural routes such as Lower Prairie Dog Rd and Coutant Creek Rd, which connect these various draws and mining sites. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrography including Badger Creek, Little Badger Creek, and Coutant Creek as they weave through the Sheridan County highlands.
