2021 Map of Bowen Flat

About this map

Bowen Flat characterizes this section of Niobrara County, where the high plains of eastern Wyoming meet a complex network of drainage draws and seasonal waterways. The Cheyenne River winds across the northern boundary, fed by various intermittent streams including Lance Cr and Old Woman Cr. This 2021 landscape is defined by its water management and distinct geological markers, such as the prominent Chimney Rock Butte and the artificial impoundments of Rumney Number 2 Reservoir and Rumney Number 3 Reservoir. The area's ranching heritage is visible in the naming of several topographic features, from Culligans Flats to Jacoby Draw, while Redbird Rd provides the primary transit link through the southern portion of this cattle-country terrain.
