2021 Map of Garland Draw

About this map

Snyder Creek and its tributary, S Snyder Creek, define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in eastern Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of intermittent watercourses including Garland Draw, Dixon Draw, and Barrel Draw, which illustrate the erosion patterns typical of this part of Niobrara County. Human infrastructure is notably sparse, represented primarily by Dixon Rd, which provides north-south access through the sections. The map's detailed topography reveals the functional naming of the land by cattlemen and homesteaders, seen in features like Windmill Draw, Clayton Draw, and North Pasture Draw. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey preserves the Public Land Survey System grid across townships including t40n r65w and t41n r66w, anchoring these local landmarks within the legal geography of the American West.
