About this map

Seventy-seven Ranch and the isolated drainage systems of Sheridan County define this high-plains landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by a complex network of intermittent watercourses, including the North Fork, Lotspeich Prong, and Randall Prong of Waddle Creek, which highlight the importance of water management in this arid ranching environment. This reliance on seasonal flow is anchored by the Fordyce Deer Creek Dam along the South Fork Deer Creek.

Further south, the landscape is shaped by the tributaries of Badger Creek, including the Middle Fork and Parker Prong. Movement through the area is facilitated by Badger Creek Rd, while distinctive topographic features like Mile Long Draw and the Four X Draw settlement area provide unique waypoints for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family ranching roots in this corner of Wyoming.
