About this map

Silver Spoon Reservoir and a series of high-plains springs define this drainage-rich landscape in northern Converse County. The terrain is marked by significant topographical rises such as Birkner Hill and Morris Hill, which overlook an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses including Duck Cr and Willow Cr. The area is characterized by vast, flat-topped features like Turner Flats and Highland Flats, connected by the local path of Co RD 31.

The presence of named landmarks like Blizzard Heights and Turner Divide suggests the importance of high-ground navigation and local identifiers in this rural Wyoming landscape. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for water sources critical to ranching and survival, from White Rock Spring to Martin Spring. Numerous named draws, including Frank Draw and Potts Draw, illustrate the complex erosion patterns that shape the local watershed feeding into Sage Cr.
