About this map

Cheyenne River flows across the northern reaches of this Niobrara County landscape, marking a terrain defined by expansive plateaus and winding seasonal drainages. During the mid-1970s, when these aerial surveys were conducted, the region was characterized by its cattle-ranching utility and emerging energy exploration. The map highlights topographic landmarks like Chimney Rock Butte and the broad expanse of Bowen Flat, which give way to a complex network of draws and creeks. Numerous Drill Hole and Flowing Well labels indicate the active search for resources across Culligans Flats and along the banks of Old Woman Creek. These features, alongside Lance Creek and Jacoby Draw, illustrate the intricate water-management and industrial footprint of this high plains environment.
