About this map

Wildcat Creek and its many tributaries, such as the West Fork Wildcat Creek, define this Sheridan County drainage basin during the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and topographical draws, including the unusually named Hamburger Draw and John Draw. Human activity is marked by resource extraction and infrastructure, notably the Gravel Pits and a Mine located near the southern boundary.

The presence of the Nine Mile Ditch alongside Prairie Dog Creek suggests a managed water system for the surrounding ranching or agricultural lands. The emergence of modern transportation is evident where Interstate 90 cuts across the western edge, providing a stark contrast to the network of unimproved roads and the Jeep Trail that wind through the draws and gulches of this Sheridan County terrain.
