2012 Map of Dugout Creek South

About this map

Dilts Ranch and Steinle Ranch anchor this landscape in Converse County, where the network of ephemeral waterways defines the region's character. The Dry Fork Cheyenne River winds across the central territory, joined by Dugout Creek and the starkly named Calamity Gulch. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern ranching infrastructure of eastern Wyoming, showing how large family holdings are interconnected by a sparse grid of roads like Steinle Rd and Usfs 961. The drainage patterns and topographic contours reveal a high-plains environment where water is the primary sculptor of the land, dictating the placement of outbuildings and corridors of travel through the river valleys.
