About this map

Big Cedar Ridge and Little Cedar Ridge dominate this high-desert topography in Washakie County, where a network of seasonal watercourses has carved a complex drainage system. The landscape is defined by its namesake Deadline Draw and the adjacent Blue Bank Draw, both situated in the eastern half of the quadrangle. These features are part of a broader watershed including the N Fork Buffalo Cr and the Hawks Nest Fork, which illustrate the arid-land erosion patterns typical of north-central Wyoming.

Evidence of modern ranching and land management appears through isolated tracks like Blue Bank Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, as well as the humorous naming of Dead End Rd. Prominent elevations such as Mid Butte and South Butte serve as critical landmarks in an area largely devoid of permanent settlements, showing how the Public Land Survey System township and range lines—such as t45n r90w—organize this open territory.
