1981 Map of Buck Creek Hills

About this map

The Buck Creek Hills define the topography of this high plains region in Niobrara County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and draws carves through the landscape. The drainage patterns of Swede Draw, Peddy Draw, and Hancock Draw indicate a terrain shaped by intermittent water flow, essential for the local livestock and ranching economy. This 1981 edition shows the intersection of natural water sources like Lance Creek and Buck Creek with modern industrial infrastructure, such as the Pipeline that traverses the northern sections. Grounded details such as various Spring and Springs locations, along with numerous sites marked as Well and Drill Hole, suggest active resource exploration and water management in this Wyoming interior. Smaller landmarks like Beaver Hole Draw and Hancock provide specific reference points for researchers tracing historical land use and environmental changes.
