About this map

Fowler Ranch and Clausen Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in Converse County, where the drainage patterns of Box Creek define the land's utility. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal draws and creeks, including North Fork Box Creek and South Fork Box Creek, which feed into vital water sources such as Doe Reservoir and Morton Reservoir. These hydrological features are essential for the livestock operations that dominate the region.

Legacy ranching properties like Weston Ranch and Fink Ranch are situated among topographical landmarks such as Nine-H-6 Hill. The prominence of named springs like Red Rock Spring and various draws, including Bowman Draw and Gumbo Draw, illustrates a specialized nomenclature tailored to a dry environment where every reliable water source or distinct depression was critical for navigation and survival. Highland Loop Road provides the primary access through this sparsely settled portion of Wyoming.
