2012 Map of Macken Draw

About this map

Fred Taylor Ranch and the WG Taylor Ranch anchor this landscape in Campbell County, showing the persistent ranching footprints of the high plains. The drainage network is the defining characteristic of this terrain, with seasonal watercourses like Ninemile Cr and Antelope Cr carving the land. Significant topographic features such as Moyer Draw and the winding course of Sand Cr illustrate the complex hydrology that ranchers relied upon. The presence of the Jenson Number 1 Reservoir highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment, providing a focal point for land use near the junction of Stinking Water Cr. This map captures the intersection of family-named landmarks and the natural drainages that have dictated the settlement patterns of the Wyoming prairie.
