2017 Map of Mule Creek

About this map

Mule Cr and its various tributaries, including W Mule Cr and E Mule Cr, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Niobrara County. The landscape is characterized by intermittent watercourses and technical terrain features like Jacoby Draw and Wheatgrass Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the high plains. Water management for livestock or local use is evident in the presence of Geiger Reservoir and the specifically designated Mule Cr Number 1 Reservoir. Transportation in this area is anchored by the route of Old Hwy 85, which skirts the eastern and southern edges of the map. Rising above the draws, The Flat Top serves as a prominent navigational landmark in an otherwise undulating terrain of ridges and creek beds like Hon Cr and Bridge Cr.
