About this map

Wagonhammer Ranch anchor this landscape of the High Plains, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and draws. The map illustrates a ranching and industrial geography, centered on the M-O Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Distinctive landforms such as Flag Butte and Flatiron Butte rise above the surrounding plains, serving as prominent landmarks for navigation across the open country.

A complex system of prairie waterways, including Prairie Cr, Deadman Cr, and Flag Butte Cr, carves through the earth, while man-made additions like the Enlargement Jesse Reservoir reflect the necessity of water management in this arid region. Named draws such as Mule Herder Draw, Coyote Draw, and Wolf Draw indicate a history of local livestock grazing and wildlife observation. The road network, including Deadman Rd and Wagonhammer Rd, provides the primary access to these isolated ranching and energy production sites.
