About this map

Clear Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains are deeply etched by a complex drainage network. The terrain is defined by a series of named draws and gulches, including Fawn Draw, Scott Draw, and Chaffee Gulch, which reveal the erosional patterns typical of the region's cattle country. In the northern section, the headwaters of the Buffalo Creek system emerge, marked by labels such as N Buffalo Cr and its northern forks.

Water management in this arid environment is anchored by the Cultra Reservoir, located near the intersection of Lake Draw and Co RD 70. The map documents a sparsely populated area where land use is dictated by the availability of water, reflected in the naming of subtle features like Sampson Draw and Squaw Cr. These labels serve as critical reference points for understanding the early 21st-century topography of this Wyoming ranchland.
