About this map

S R Cr and Arkansas Cr carve through this section of Sheridan County, defining a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and traditional ranching boundaries. The map illustrates a high density of named ephemeral watercourses, such as Wyarno Draw, Negro Draw, and Jones Draw, which reveal the intricate topography of the Powder River Basin. These features, along with family-named landmarks like Lanbaugh Number 4 Draw, provide a granular look at the local geography used by generations of land managers.

Transportation is represented by established county routes including Co RD 86 and Willow Springs Rd, which connect the various draws and creek prongs. The transition between Dutch Cr and the Wagner Prong Dutch Cr shows the seasonal water patterns essential to this high-plains environment. This survey captures the enduring spatial arrangement of the Public Land Survey System, marked by township and range lines that continue to dictate property and grazing limits.
