1984 Map of Bear Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Cheyenne River watershed in Converse County is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal draws and creeks that carved the high plains long before this 1978 field check. The landscape transitions across a prominent Divide between the drainage of Stinking Water Creek and the branching headwaters of the Bear Creek system. To the south, the North Fork and South Fork Bear Creek converge near Tuesday Draw, while the northern reaches are dominated by family-named landmarks like Hornbuckle and Bustard Draw. The presence of broad, level features such as Manning Flat and the adjacent Manning Gulch suggest a history of open-range grazing and nomadic movement through the Wyoming basin. This provisional record captures the area's pastoral character and vital water sources, including Sand Creek and Phillips Draw, which have historically dictated human and livestock movement through this arid interior.
