1967 Map of Buffalo Run Creek

About this map

Prairie Dog Creek winds through this section of Sheridan County, carving a distinct green valley floor that contrasts with the surrounding drainage networks of Buffalo Run Creek and Wildcat Creek. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of draws and gulches, including the curiously named Hamburger Draw and Jim Gulch, which illustrate the local nomenclature of the Wyoming ranching country. Human impact on the land is visible through a network of irrigation and industry, such as the Ninemile Ditch following the western contours and several Gravel Pits scattered near the creek beds. A solitary Jeep Trail traverses the central ridges, suggesting the limited accessibility of the interior uplands between the major watercourses like Meade Creek and Murphy Creek.
