About this map

Big Goose Cr and its complex system of irrigation infrastructure define this Sheridan County landscape. The map details an intricate network of water management essential to the region's agricultural heritage, including the Alliance Ditch, Alliance Lateral, and the Colorado Colony Ditch. These man-made channels bisect a terrain characterized by numerous named draws, such as Hultz Draw, Wolf Draw, and Jenkins Draw, which drain toward the larger creek beds.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along rural routes like Soldier Creek Rd and Keystone Rd, where residential clusters begin to transition from ranch land into suburban developments like those found near Red Fox Dr. Genealogists and local historians can trace the intersection of old water rights and modern property divisions, particularly around Garrett Reservoir and the various family-named draws that suggest long-standing land ownership in the vicinity of Owl Cr.
