About this map

Cedar Hill rises over a landscape defined by ranching and essential water management in this portion of Converse County. The area is marked by a network of established family-named properties, including the Fitzhugh Ranch to the west and the Stephenson Ranch and Cundall Ranch to the east. These operations are supported by a complex drainage system where Indian Cr and Little Indian Cr flow through the central uplands, while the southern reaches are drained by N Elkhorn Cr and Elkhorn Cr.

Water security in this arid environment is evident through features like Spring Creek Number 1 Reservoir and Moran Reservoir, alongside natural points like Bog Hole Springs. Road access is concentrated along named routes such as N Elkhorn Creek Rd and Foy Rd, which connect the disparate ranching outposts across the high plains. The map illustrates a contemporary livestock-driven economy where natural creek beds and man-made reservoirs provide the vital backbone for regional land use.
