About this map

Beaver Cr and Stockade Beaver Cr define the hydrological landscape of this corner of Weston County, where a network of seasonal drainages converges in the high plains. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Rattlesnake Ridge to the south and the presence of the Fillinger Reservoir, a vital water resource in an area dominated by dry creek beds such as Sheep Cr, Lone Tree Cr, and the colorfully named Robbers Roost Cr.

Infrastructure in this sparsely populated region is limited to essential ranching and transport routes, including Cheyenne River Rd and Dewey Rd. The alignment of Old US Hwy 85 along the eastern edge reflects the long-standing transportation corridors used to traverse the open Wyoming range. This survey provides a clear view of the complex drainage patterns, including Blacktail Cr, that have shaped land use and property boundaries in the region.
