About this map

Big Muddy Creek winds through the heart of this Sheridan County landscape, carving a complex, meandering path across the terrain. The settlement of Homestead serves as a focal point near the center of the sheet, anchored by the Homestead Post Office and connected by Fas 350. The area is defined by its water systems, from the expansive Medicine Lake in the northeast to the smaller Homestead Lake further south.

Surface drainage is highly developed, evidenced by the numerous named tributaries like Wolf Creek, McCabe Creek, and the curiously named Sauerkraut Coulee. The map illustrates a rural transport network including Lost Creek Rd and Buffalo road, which navigate the open country between these vital waterways. This 2011 survey preserves the modern layout of these prairie communities and the intricate hydrology of the High Plains.
