1984 Map of Macken Draw

About this map

Antelope Creek and Macken Draw define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape along the border of Campbell and Converse counties. Published in the mid-1980s, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching or grazing territory where water sources are the primary landmarks. Essential water features like Eagle Nest Spring and the man-made Woods Reservoir stand out against a backdrop of complex draws and intermittent streams. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant seasonal watercourses, including Moyer Draw, Ninemile Draw, and Phillips Draw, which suggest the episodic nature of water movement in this arid environment. The presence of Stinking Water Creek and Sand Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle further illustrates the geographical naming conventions rooted in the physical properties of the local hydrology and soil.
