2012 Map of Leiter

About this map

Leiter serves as the focal point of this Sheridan County landscape, situated along the winding course of Clear Cr. This early 21st-century survey illustrates an environment defined by water management and ranching infrastructure, most notably through the extensive irrigation network including Pratt and Ferris Ditch Number 2 and Pratt and Ferris Ditch Number 3. These ditches cut across the varied terrain, which is deeply etched by numerous seasonal watercourses. Notable topographic features carry descriptive names such as Dead Mans Draw, Black Stump Draw, and Big Corral Draw, the latter leading toward the Big Corral landmark. To the east, the Cadiz Reservoir provides a significant water storage point near Cadiz Draw, reflecting the essential relationship between the local geography and the arid requirements of Wyoming high-plains agriculture and livestock operations.
