About this map

Squaw Mountain and the prominent Squaw Rock anchor this high-plains landscape in Platte County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management network vital for the region, featuring the Wyoming Development Company Canal as it winds across the landscape. Several irrigation and storage points are distributed throughout the area, including Phelps Reservoir, Phelps Number 2 Reservoir, and Eshom Reservoir.

The presence of an Old Road Abnd near the southern boundary suggests shifting transportation routes over time, while named corridors like Kittell Rd and Cooney Hills Rd provide access to the South Cooney Hills. These roads follow the natural drainage patterns of Sybille Cr, McMurray Cr, and Slate Cr, illustrating the relationship between the arid environment and human infrastructure in the early 21st century.
