1984 Map of Dugout Creek South

About this map

Dry Fork Cheyenne River meanders across this High Plains landscape, marking a critical drainage point in Converse County. This 1984 provisional edition highlights a sparse, water-defined geography where ephemeral systems like Dugout Creek and the aptly named Calamity Gulch dictate the layout of the land. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the map provides a look at the township and range boundaries of T 39 N and T 38 N during a period of modern land management. The lack of concentrated settlements underscores the vast, open character of the Wyoming ranching or energy-producing backcountry during this era, focusing instead on the subtle topography and the winding course of the river fork.
