1970 Map of Jones Draw

About this map

Burlington Northern railroad tracks cut across the southwestern corner of this Sheridan County landscape, following the drainage of Wagner Prong toward Dutch Creek. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and draws, including Lanabaugh Draw, Jones Draw, and Coutant Draw, which feed into larger systems like S R Creek and Arkansas Creek. This 1970 field survey illustrates a sparsely settled ranching environment where land use is marked by scattered improvements such as a Corral, a Landing Field in the northeast, and a Windmill near the center of the quadrangle. A system of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail provide the primary means of navigating the breaks and hills between these seasonal waterways.
