About this map

Esau Spring and its surrounding drainage network define this high plains landscape in Converse County. The area is characterized by an intricate system of ephemeral and perennial watercourses, including the E Fork Lake Cr, Spring Cr, and the winding Tena Cr. These waterways have carved numerous named landforms across the terrain, such as Sage Draw, Frey Draw, and Windy Draw, which indicate the natural flow of water toward the larger Cow Cr valley.

Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Weiss Ranch in the southwestern quadrant. Access to this territory is primarily provided by rural routes like Cow Creek Rd and various forest service tracks, including USFS 958 Rd and USFS 959 Rd. The presence of features like Donna Draw and Archie Draw suggests a history of local family naming conventions typical of Wyoming's ranching country, providing a detailed map of the regional geography as it existed in 2012.
