About this map

Windy Ridge and Hatterman Hill dominate this portion of the Wyoming landscape, where the high plains transition into a complex network of draws and creek beds. The drainage pattern is defined by La Prele Cr and the waters of La Prele Reservoir, while isolated landmarks like Hermit Rock and Round Hill provide distinct navigational points for those tracing old ranching boundaries or local topography.

Evidence of water management is found at Elsie Reservoir and natural sources such as Howard Spring and Rice Spring. The map documents a rugged rural infrastructure connected by Cold Springs Rd and Windy Ridge Rd, tracing through terrain named by early inhabitants, including Dogie Draw, Cross Draw, and the deep cut of Red Canyon. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent character of this Converse County region, where the names of hills and springs remain the primary markers of the land.
