2012 Map of Coal Hill

About this map

Lenzen Ranch and Crouch Ranch anchor this landscape of the High Plains in eastern Wyoming, representing the enduring legacy of rural homesteads in Converse County. The topography is defined by the Sage Creek Divide, which separates the drainage systems of the S Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River to the north and the complex network of Sage Cr to the south. Notable elevations like Coal Hill and Red Butte punctuate the horizon, while the presence of Blizzard Hts suggests the harsh meteorological conditions that shaped local naming conventions. Transportation is sparse, relying on routes like 55 Ranch Rd, which connects the isolated ranching operations across these vast drainages. The map reveals a highly specialized grazing economy where life is organized around seasonal creeks like Phillips Cr and Sand Cr.
