About this map

Fiddleback Reservoir sits within a landscape defined by seasonal drainage patterns and dryland cattle country in this 2015 study of Converse County. The terrain is deeply inscribed by ephemeral watercourses like Box Cr and the winding path of Lightning Cr, which flows toward the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. These natural features dictated the early placement of ranch access roads and livestock water management systems in this part of Wyoming.

Modern infrastructure follows these established paths, with Highway 59 running north-to-south along the eastern edge, while local routes like Highland Loop Rd and Cr-32 provide access to the interior. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the high ground near Dry Draw down toward the confluence of Little Lightning Cr and Alexander Draw, offering a precise view of the hydrology and land divisions that remain vital to the region's ranching economy.
