2017 Map of Cattail Ranch

About this map

Cattail Ranch sits within a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses along the border of Goshen and Laramie Counties. The area is characterized by the convergence of several significant creeks and runs, including the easterly flow of Cattail Cr and the northern reaches of Bear Cr. Human modification of the arid terrain is evident through features like the Durbin-Ditch, while the natural relief is marked by the distinctive Rocky Hollow and Bullwhacker Draw. A grid of rural roads, such as Bear Creek Rd and Kirkbride-Harding Rd, provides access across the expansive ranching country of southeastern Wyoming. This topography illustrates the reliance on named draws and springs in an environment where water management and cattle ranching shape the placement of homesteads and infrastructure.
