2021 Map of Horse Hill

About this map

Horse Hill and Snake Hill dominate this high-plains landscape along the border of Sheridan and Johnson Counties. This modern survey illustrates a complex network of ranching and irrigation infrastructure, where natural drainages like Piney Creek and Boxelder Cr are augmented by extensive man-made channels. Named water-management features, including the Sturdevant-Ditch, Maverick Ditch, and the Athope-Rogers-Ditch, snake through the terrain to support local livestock operations. Several reservoirs, such as Big Draw Reservoir and Belus Number 1 Reservoir, highlight the critical importance of water storage in this arid environment. The map provides a high-resolution view of the rural road system, tracing routes like Lower Piney Rd and Belus Rd as they navigate the numerous draws and gulches that define the region's topography.
