2015 Map of Mule Creek

About this map

Mule Creek and its various branches, including East Mule Creek and West Mule Creek, dominate this eastern Wyoming drainage basin within Niobrara County. The landscape is defined by its water management and topography, featuring significant landmarks such as The Flat Top and the erosional paths of Jacoby Draw and Wheatgrass Draw. The human footprint here is primarily represented by the path of Old Highway 85, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. Ranching and water conservation are evident through local infrastructure like Geiger Reservoir and the Mule Creek Number 1 Reservoir, located in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map highlights the intersection of several tributary systems, including Hon Creek, Sage Creek, and Bridge Creek, which feed into the larger regional watershed.
