1984 Map of Coal Draw South

About this map

Cheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in a region defined by its high-country Divide. The 1984 survey reveals a terrain shaped by water and industry, where the upper tributaries of Bear Creek—including the North Fork and South Fork—carve through the high plains. A localized industrial presence is noted by a Mine Dump north of Bear Creek, suggesting mineral exploration or extraction efforts in this part of Converse County. To the east, the broad expanse of Dilts Flat and the drainage of Calamity Gulch point to the varied topography of the Powder River Basin area. Features like Reynolds Reservoir and several flowing wells indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid ranching and mining environment.
