2015 Map of Mercer Draw

About this map

Mercer Draw centers this 2015 survey of the High Plains landscape in Niobrara County, defined by a network of drainage systems that shape the local topography. The hydrological pattern is anchored by the southeastward flow of Lightning Cr and Twentymile Cr, while Little Cow Cr and Walker Cr cut through the northern and western sections. Human activity is sparse and focused on utility and access, evidenced by the presence of K-Field Rd and Lightning Creek Rd. These routes, alongside the established Public Land Survey System boundaries like t37n r66w, reflect a landscape managed for ranching or resource extraction. The map provides a precise view of the terrain's subtle elevation changes, where the drainages serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise open Wyoming environment.
