About this map

Lightning Cr and its tributaries carve a network through this high plains drainage in Niobrara County. The landscape is defined by traditional ranching infrastructure and seasonal water management, most notably at the Obrien Number 1 Reservoir and the Wildcat Reservoir in the southern reaches. These man-made catchments suggest the area's reliance on managed water for livestock in an arid Wyoming environment. Significant geographic landmarks like Twentymile Gulch and Twentymile Cr cut across the western sections, while a sparse road network, including Kruse Rd and N Lance Creek Rd, provides the only access through this remote range country. The map serves as a contemporary record of land use and water rights in a region where the natural hydrology of Cow Cr is essential to local survival.
