About this map

Hillberry Rim and the Buck Buttes define the high ground of this high-plains landscape where Park and Hot Springs counties meet. The drainage network of Buffalo Cr and Gooseberry Cr carves through the terrain, supported by early 21st-century water management features like the Star Ditch and Sun Ditch. Evocative local names such as Wild Horse Heaven and Hole in the Ground suggest a land shaped by ranching and traditional geographic lore.

Water security in this arid environment is represented by a series of catchments, including Wilson Reservoir, Moon Reservoir, and Enright Reservoir. Movement through the region relies on a few primary corridors like Squaw Teats Rd and Gooseberry Creek Rd, which navigate the draws and gulches. The survey provides a clear view of the complex topography between Fifteenmile Cr and the southern ranch lands near Dickie Ranch Rd.
