2015 Map of Clausen Ranch

About this map

Clausen Ranch is a primary landmark in this ranching landscape of northern Converse County, where the high plains terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and ephemeral water storage. The hydrology of the region is mapped in detail, showing how Little Lightning Creek and Lightning Creek carve through the landscape, alongside vital water management features such as the Witt Number 1 Reservoir and Number 1 Reservoir. These small reservoirs highlight the importance of water security in the Wyoming rangeland during the early 21st century.
