1964 Map of Beaver Creek Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Beaver Creek Hills dominate this Sheridan County landscape, where the rugged eastern foothills transition into the high elevations of the Bighorn National Forest. The map documents a complex network of ranching and water management infrastructure, characterized by numerous named draws such as Peralta Draw, Nelson Draw, and Wymer Draw. These drainages feed into the larger basins of Big Goose Creek and Beaver Creek. A notable man-made addition to the landscape is the Polo Field and Landing Strip located near the confluence of Colorado Creek and Hanna Creek. The presence of the Red Grade road and landmarks like Government Gap and Curlew Hill illustrate the historical routes used to navigate this varying terrain. Water rights and irrigation are highlighted by the various ditches and pipelines that weave through the draws, supporting the agricultural life of the valley below the mountain front.
