2021 Map of Natwick SW

About this map

Sheep Mtn dominates the central topography of this Wyoming landscape, where the high-plains drainage systems of Platte County are captured in exceptional detail. The northern edge of the map features the Wyoming Development Company Canal, a significant piece of early twentieth-century western water infrastructure designed to transform the arid basin into productive land. Flowing through the winding canyon bottoms are several branches of Sybille Cr and the S Fork Sybille Cr, which provide the primary hydrological network for the surrounding ranching country. Access to this isolated terrain is defined by a network of rural routes including Halleck Canyon Rd, Deadhead Creek Rd, and Brush Creek Rd. The map illustrates the characteristic section-line development of the West, where remote drainages like Mule Cr and Bluegrass Cr intersect with rugged summits.
