About this map

Wild Horse Cr and Bluegate Cr carve a landscape of ephemeral drainages and essential water storage in this section of Campbell County. The presence of numerous small-scale reservoirs, including Myrtle Reservoir, Bennor Reservoir, and Coat Mine Reservoir, illustrates the intensive water management required for ranching in this arid environment. These features are interspersed with historical family-named landmarks like Four Bar J Ranch and the isolated Bethlehem Cem near the eastern edge.

Transport is defined by a network of ranch roads such as Buffalo Cut Across Rd and Lowery Ranch Rd, which connect remote homesteads across the townships. The terrain is marked by distinct draws like Force Draw and Pearson Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the larger creek systems. This map captures the intersection of traditional land use and the modern rural infrastructure of the High Plains.
