2012 Map of McMaster Reservoir

About this map

Niobrara River meanders across this rural expanse of Niobrara County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape characterized by intermittent watercourses and significant elevation changes. The northern portion of the map is marked by the winding path of Duck Cr, which feeds into the larger waterway system south of the local height of land. Central to the area's water management is Christian Reservoir, a vital local landmark for livestock or irrigation in this high plains environment. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of paths and improved surfaces, with McMaster Rd providing primary access through the southern reaches. This 2012 survey illustrates the continued reliance on specialized water infrastructure in eastern Wyoming, where the terrain dictates the location of few maintained roads and local landmarks.
