2021 Map of Gumbo Hill

About this map

Gumbo Hill stands as a central high point in this portion of Converse County, where the high plains are carved by a complex network of ephemeral drainages. The landscape is defined by the branching headwaters of the Cheyenne River system, including the Middle Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River and the S Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River. These seasonal watercourses, along with named features like Lone Tree Gulch and Derrick Draw, suggest a terrain historically utilized for open-range ranching and resource extraction. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the sparse, rural nature of this Wyoming territory, where landmarks such as Blue Hill and Ordurm Draw provide the primary orientation for those navigating the wide-open township and range blocks of the t36n r76w and t36n r75w grids.
