About this map

La Prele Cr and its complex network of tributaries define this Converse County landscape, where the high plains meet rising elevations. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks that reflect local naming traditions and topographical hazards, such as Johnson Mailbox Hill, Stinson Hill, and Rattlesnake Hill. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Center Realty Reservoir Number 1 and the presence of Willow Spring.

The map reveals a network of passages through the hills, including Hazenville Pass and Schofield Pass, which connect the various draws and creek beds. These drainage systems, such as Tomahawk Draw and Wilson Draw, create a rugged hydrologic pattern feeding into Sheep Cr and the various forks of King Cr. The infrastructure remains sparse, centered on primary routes like Natural Bridge Rd and Wagon Hound Rd.
