About this map

Leavitt Ranch and its namesake Leavitt Reservoir anchor this 2012 depiction of the high plains and foothills in Sheridan County. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage network where N Beaver Cr and S Beaver Cr converge near Beaver Creek Rd. This area reveals the essential infrastructure of Wyoming's ranching economy, specifically through the presence of the London Ditch, an engineered waterway diverting local flows for agricultural use.

Rising to the east, the slopes of Hunt Mountain overlook a series of topographic depressions and erosion features like Fenton Draw and Davis Draw. These landforms, along with the route of Bear Creek Rd, trace the natural corridors used for movement across this varied terrain. The map captures the quiet intersection of natural watercourses like Red Canyon Cr and the human-directed water management systems vital to the region's high-altitude ranching life.
