About this map

Cattail Ranch sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, where the border of Goshen County and Laramie County divides a terrain defined by seasonal waterways and ranching infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate network of drainages, including Bear Cr, Little Bear Cr, and Cattail Cr, which cut through the undulating surface near Bullwhacker Draw. Evidence of early water management is visible in the Durbin Ditch in the north, a vital feature for supporting agriculture and livestock in this arid environment.

Transportation through these wide-open spaces relies on a grid of rural routes such as Kirkbride-Harding Rd and Cattail Rd. These roads link isolated ranch outposts across the townships of t19n r65w and t18n r64w. The landscape's character is further marked by distinctive landforms like Rocky Hollow, illustrating the subtle yet complex topography that dictates the placement of roads and homesteads in the southeastern Wyoming cattle country.
