2012 Map of Funny Rock

About this map

Lance Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the high plains of Niobrara County, showing a landscape shaped by drainage and ranching access. The terrain is marked by the eponymous Funny Rock, a distinct landmark situated central to the sheet's northern half. This 2012 survey illustrates how water management and local infrastructure intersect in this arid region, most notably at the Williams Reservoir and the catchments at Peddy Draw 1 and Peddy Draw 2. The network of local roads, such as Wasserburger Rd, Ridge Rd, and Traphigan Rd, traces the movement of residents across the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, providing a clear view of land use and navigation in modern eastern Wyoming.
