About this map

Ferguson Corner serves as a central point of reference in this landscape of Platte County, where drainage systems define the rugged topography of the high plains. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including Chugwater Creek and Antelope Creek, which have carved deep paths through the terrain. Evidence of water management and irrigation infrastructure is prominent, notably the Bordeaux Canal accompanied by a Levee and a Siphon at the crossing of South Fork.

Rural settlement is sparse, marked by the small outpost of Herman and scattered family-named landmarks like Ayers. The presence of a major Pipeline cutting across the eastern sections alongside the drainage of Hunton Creek highlights the intersection of industrial transport and the natural Wyoming environment. This document records the intricate hydrology of the area, from the primary flow of Rock Creek to the seasonal courses of Dry Creek and various unnamed draws.
