2017 Map of Maneater Creek

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest lands dominate the southern portion of this Converse County quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into a dense network of mountain drainages and high ridges. The landscape is defined by its water management and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the George Nagle Ditch and Wagon Hound Ditch Number 3 which draw from the primary waterways. Geologic features such as Wagon Hound Gorge and Manning Ridge stand out against a backdrop of numerous named creeks, including Maneater Cr and W Fork La Bonte Cr. Transportation across this high-plains terrain is facilitated by Wagon Hound Rd and the isolated Wagonhound Airport, located near the northern reaches of the Wagon Hound Cr drainage system. Small-scale water features like Basin Reservoir and local landmarks like Meehl Draw indicate a landscape primarily utilized for grazing and forest management.
