2017 Map of Dewey SW

About this map

The high plains of the Weston Co and Niobrara Co border are defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages and ranch roads. Water management is central to this arid landscape, anchored by the Fillinger Reservoir in the southwestern quadrant. The terrain is marked by distinct topographical features like Rattlesnake Ridge, which overlooks the eastern drainages. These natural corridors, including Stockade Beaver Cr and Beaver Cr, have historically dictated the placement of travel routes through the region. Transportation follows the contours of the land, with Morrsey Rd, Cheyenne River Rd, and Old Hwy 85 providing access across the township lines. The map reveals the quiet persistence of rural infrastructure, where named creeks like Robbers Roost Cr and Lone Tree Cr serve as vital landmarks for navigation and land division.
