About this map

Tullock Creek serves as the central drainage for this section of Treasure County, carving a path through a landscape defined by expansive flats and deep coulees. The ranching heritage of the region is evident in the presence of Hammond Ranch and Redding Ranch, both situated near the vital water source of the creek. To manage the sparse water resources for livestock and agriculture, infrastructure such as the B and A Hammond Number 1 Dam and B and A Hammond Number 2 Dam were established along the creek bed.

The terrain is marked by distinctive named features like Gass Flat and Sullinger Bottom, illustrating how local geography was identified by early settlers and ranchers. A network of coulees and draws, including Schrites Coulee, Summer Springs Coulee, and McCurdy Draw, intersect the higher ground between Rough Creek and Cottonwood Creek, reflecting a complex natural drainage system managed by early 21st-century inhabitants via routes like Tullock Rd and County Rd 57.
