About this map

Herman Werner Reservoir Number 1 sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape in Converse County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and intermittent streams. The geography here is a series of rolling ridges and shallow basins, carved by seasonal water flow into features like Bull Gulch and Spring Draw. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the namesake Marsh Draw, which converges with other dry washes such as Wallace Draw and the evocatively named Snake Charmer Draw.

This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the hydrography of the region, showing how Antelope Cr and N Sand Cr navigate the high-elevation contours. These drainages are critical markers in an arid environment where ranching and land management often follow the natural contours of the watershed. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including township lines for T39N and T38N, which helps researchers pin down specific allotments in this open country.
