About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this corner of Fall River County, where a network of ephemeral creeks and irrigation works define the high plains landscape. Water management is a central theme of this 2012 survey, evidenced by the Tubbs Canal and the Fiddle Creek Reservoir, which capture and divert the flow from local drainages like Fiddle Cr and Moss Agate Cr. These features reflect the area's agricultural and ranching priorities in a semi-arid environment.

Transportation and public access are facilitated by a series of county routes, including Co HWY 9a and Co HWY 8 E. For those exploring the local geography, the Fossil Point Picnic Area serves as a notable landmark near the center of the quadrangle. The map captures a mix of rugged natural hydrology, such as Dry Cr and Driftwood Cr, alongside the structured human efforts to harness the region's limited water resources.
