About this map

Wellfleet sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the high plains begin to drop into a complex system of drainage canyons. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of Lake Canyon, Hay Canyon, and Elkhorn Canyon, which funnel water toward the meandering course of Medicine Cr. This creek is fed by localized sources like Opal Spring and passes near Farmers Lake, illustrating a fragile water network in an otherwise arid rangeland.

To the southeast, the village of Maywood serves as a secondary focal point, with the Maywood Cem located on its northern outskirts. The map reveals a transition across the Lincoln Co Frontier Co boundary, where the surveyor's grid is overlaid upon the natural divide between N Brushy Cr and S Brushy Cr. The road network, including Opal Springs Rd and Hayes Co Rd, follows the easier grades between these deep canyons, connecting isolated homesteads and ranching tracts.
