About this map

The high plains of Converse County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle ranching operations in this 2012 survey. Centered on the upper reaches of the Cheyenne River watershed, the landscape is segmented by significant topographic features such as Baby Springs Draw and Flat Top Draw. The region's limited transportation infrastructure is oriented around a few key corridors, including Manning Rd and 20 Mile Creek Rd, which provide access to remote outposts like Manning Ranch.

The intricate hydrology of the area is represented by Twentymile Cr and its various tributaries, such as the E Fork Twentymile Cr, alongside the branching system of Harney Cr. These waterways carve distinct paths through the terrain, leading to unique landmarks like Dumbell Rock Draw. This map serves as a detailed record of land use and water distribution in a sparsely populated part of Wyoming at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
