About this map

Snyder Creek and its southern branch, South Snyder Creek, carve a detailed drainage network across this portion of Niobrara County. The landscape is defined by its numerous topographic depressions and intermittent watercourses, including Graham Draw, Garland Draw, and North Pasture Draw. This area shows the intersection of several township lines, specifically T 41 N, T 40 N, and T 39 N, highlighting the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System in the Wyoming high plains.

Energy exploration is evident through the scattered distribution of Drill Hole and Drill Holes sites throughout the quadrangle. These features, alongside descriptive landmarks such as Windmill Draw and Dixon Draw, suggest a rural environment focused on ranching and resource extraction in the late twentieth century. The topography is meticulously captured, showing the subtle breaks and draws that characterize this rangeland.
