About this map

Cactus Flat Draw and a complex network of ephemeral drainages define this portion of Campbell County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate system of draws and prongs. The landscape is dominated by the Olmstead Cr watershed, including the uniquely named Cookstove Prong Olmstead Cr and S Fork Olmstead Cr. These geographical features suggest a history of seasonal water management and ranching, evidenced by the scattered road network including Bay Horse Rd and Olmstead Rd.

Functional naming conventions are prevalent across the terrain, from Sawmill Draw and Coal Gulch to Plum Creek Draw, hinting at the primary resources and activities that once occupied local settlers. The map also records several family or landmark-named features such as Hart Draw, Cromack Draw, and the namesake Homestead Draw, providing valuable geographic anchors for genealogical research in this rural Wyoming interior.
