2015 Map of Orpha

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this landscape near the settlement of Orpha, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of Alkali Gulch and Fetterman Cr. The map highlights a transition from the river valley to the elevated terrain of Table Mtn in the south. This area is characterized by scattered ranching infrastructure and localized water management, evidenced by Nichols Reservoir Number 2 and Moore Reservoir. Transportation routes like Inez Rd and the storied Cherokee Trl cross the township lines, reflecting the long history of movement across this portion of Converse County. Unique landmarks such as Infant Geyser and private aviation sites like Chamberlain Brothers Ranch Airport point to the specific geological and economic activities of the region in the mid-2010s.
