About this map

Clear Creek meanders through a landscape defined by drainage patterns and early irrigation efforts in northern Wyoming. The Pratt and Ferris Ditch No 1 cuts across the terrain, illustrating the historical reliance on managed water systems to support land use in this arid region. Near the northern boundary, the Burlington Northern railroad corridor parallels Lone Tree Creek, marking the primary transportation artery through the area.

The map reveals a network of named drainages, including Julio Draw, Sahara Draw, and Fowler Draw, which segment the rolling plains. A Jeep Trail in the southwest corner suggests the limited accessibility of the more remote sections of the county line between Sheridan and Johnson counties. This 1971 survey serves as a record of rural land management before significant modern development, emphasizing the relationship between seasonal watercourses and the local ranching infrastructure.
