About this map

The high plains border between Weston Co and Niobrara Co defines the lower boundary of this western landscape. Much of the activity in this arid region centers on water management and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Well and Tank markers scattered across the terrain. Transport is anchored by the north-south corridor of Morrisey Road, which cuts through the undulating landscape between drainage systems.

Drainage is dominated by several named seasonal watercourses including Sheep Creek, Alkali Creek, and the evocatively named Robbers Roost Creek. A significant Pipeline traverses the eastern sections of the map, suggesting the region's industrial role during the early 1980s. The presence of Bum Draw in the southwest corner further illustrates the localized naming conventions typical of the Wyoming ranching and grazing country documented by the Geological Survey during this era.
