About this map

Cedar Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape where the Converse and Platte County line divides the terrain. Water management is a central theme of this 2017 survey, visible through the careful mapping of the Spring Cr Number 1 Reservoir and Moran Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside natural sources like Bog Hole Springs, highlight the critical importance of water storage for ranching and land use in this arid region.

A complex drainage system of ephemeral and perennial streams, including North Elkhorn Creek and its southern branches, carves through the township blocks. The presence of routes like Foy Rd and Ridge Rd provides a look at how contemporary infrastructure follows the contours of the land, while named terrain features like Whiskey Gulch hint at the local nomenclature used by generations of residents in this corner of Wyoming.
