1981 Map of Mercer Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Lightning Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the topography of this Niobrara County landscape. The drainage system, including Mercer Draw, Little Cow Creek, and Deep Creek, reveals a terrain shaped by seasonal water flow and ranching infrastructure. The map depicts a sparsely populated region of Wyoming during the late 1970s and early 1980s, where human presence is primarily marked by specialized features such as Landing Strips and several scattered Drill Holes. A prominent Pipeline traverses the western sections of the map, cutting across the natural draws. The inclusion of Walker Creek and Twentymile Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the critical role of these intermittent waterways in an arid environment, providing essential orientation for local history research and land use studies.
