2021 Map of Hultz Draw

About this map

Sheridan sits at the eastern edge of this High Plains landscape, where the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains begin to influence the local drainage patterns. The topography is defined by a dense network of coulees and draws, including Hultz Draw, Gillespie Draw, and Warriner Draw, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the more substantial watercourses. The importance of water management in this arid ranching and agricultural region is evident through the extensive irrigation infrastructure. Systems like the Alliance Ditch, Alliance Lateral, and Soldier Cr Ditch crisscross the terrain to move water from Big Goose Creek and Soldier Cr to local fields. High points and ridge lines are navigated by the Soldier Ridge Trl and Cavalry Ridge Trl, offering a detailed view of the modern rural road network, including Keystone Rd and Co Rd 74, that connects scattered homesteads and reservoirs like Garrett Reservoir.
