2015 Map of Hultz Draw

About this map

Sheridan borders the eastern edge of this landscape, where the high plains meet a complex network of seasonal drainages and irrigation infrastructure. The terrain is defined by numerous draws, such as Hultz Draw and Warriner Draw, which channel runoff toward more permanent watercourses like Big Goose Creek and Soldier Cr. Human intervention in this arid environment is evident through an extensive system of water management features, including the Colorado Colony Ditch, Alliance Ditch, and several private impoundments like Fryberger Reservoir and Garrett Reservoir. These systems reflect the historical necessity of diverting water for agricultural and residential use in Sheridan County. The road network, including Cavalry Ridge Rd and George Crook Ln, provides access to the ridgelines and valleys that have supported ranching and development on the city's outskirts into the early 21st century.
