About this map

Nostrum Mountain dominates the landscape of this high-elevation Hot Springs County terrain, where a series of water sources and seasonal drainages define the remote geography. Several perennial and intermittent flows like Red Canyon Creek and Dry Cottonwood Creek carve through the draws, supported by local water points including Nostrum Spring, Big Eagle Spring, and Little Eagle Springs.

The presence of named landmarks such as Potato Butte Draw and the Minnesela Slope indicates a landscape primarily used for ranching and resource access. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like Red Canyon Road and Boysen Peak Road, tracing the natural contours of the slopes. This survey provides a clear view of the complex drainages and named coulees like Bobcat Draw and Jergens Draw as they appeared in the early 21st century.
