About this map

Walker Reservoir and the surrounding drainage systems of Niobrara County define this landscape of the High Plains. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with several major forks including N Greasewood Cr, S Greasewood Cr, and Greasewood Cr converging in the central quadrangle. These seasonal waterways are complemented by numerous named draws such as Walker Draw, Landis Draw, and Dutch Joe Draw, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the Wyoming basin.

Remote ranching infrastructure is visible through the primitive road network, primarily Greasewood Ridge Rd and Redbird Rd, which follow the higher elevations to avoid the dissected terrain of Boggy Cr and Lance Cr. This 2021 survey shows a region where water management remains central to land use, evidenced by the strategic placement of the reservoir amidst a series of township boundaries including t39n r63w and t38n r64w.
