1970 Map of Lightning Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Werner Ranch stands as a focal point of human settlement in this high plains landscape of Converse County, documented during a 1970 field check. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Lightning Creek, which is joined by Box Creek and Willow Creek as they cut through the dry rangeland. Strategic water access in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of several Flowing Wells and the prominent Box Draw. This survey captures the rural character of the area just as aerial photography was becoming a primary tool for mapping the American West, showing the precise township boundaries of T. 36 N. and T. 35 N. that organized the open range into manageable tracts for ranching and resource management.
