About this map

Ferguson Corner serves as the central landmark for this high-plains landscape in Platte County, where the management of water dominates the rural layout. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems designed to support ranching and agriculture, including the Highline Ditch, Bordeaux Canal, and Canal Number 1. These man-made channels intersect natural drainages like Chugwater Cr and Rock Cr, illustrating the intensive engineering required to sustain life in this semi-arid region.

Local ranching history is anchored by specialized features such as the Bagley-Brothers Reservoir and Chug Springs Reservoir. The map detail traces the winding courses of the N Fork Antelope Cr and S Fork Antelope Cr, which cut through the undulating contours of the Platte County hills. Intersected by a grid of rural roads like Ferguson Rd and Bordeaux Rd, the sheet provides a clear picture of modern land use and historical water rights in the Wyoming interior.
