1981 Map of Little Alkali Creek

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape in eastern Wyoming, serving as a primary drainage point for a complex network of seasonal draws and creeks. This 1981 record captures the rural character of Niobrara County, where infrastructure is defined by isolated points of activity like Carlas Corner and a Pumping Sta situated along a prominent north-south Pipeline. The terrain is marked by distinctive local names such as Bridle Bit Hill and a series of rugged drainage features including Hungry Hollow, Fatal Hollow, and Rock Corral Draw. This area’s economic footprint is visible through numerous Drill Hole sites and water sources like the Flowing Well, illustrating the vital connection between water access and land use in this part of the Great Plains.
