About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest lands dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where high-elevation drainage systems like W Fork La Bonte Cr and Mill Cr shape the terrain. The northern half of the map reveals a ranching and water-management history, marked by the George Nagle Ditch and Wagon Hound Ditch Number 3. These irrigation features, along with Peterson Reservoir and Basin Reservoir, highlight the critical role of water diversion in this high plains environment.

Transport and natural landmarks are concentrated near the central corridor, where the Wagonhound Airport sits near the winding course of Muddy Wagon Hound Cr. Notable geological features include the Wagon Hound Gorge and the prominent Manning Ridge to the southeast. The area is intersected by several named draws such as Red Draw and Meehl Draw, which underscore the rugged, dissected character of the Converse County topography during this early 21st-century period.
