About this map

Cheyenne River and its tributary, the Dry Fork, define the northern drainage of this Converse County landscape during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This transitional terrain is characterized by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses including Cottonwood Draw, Poison Draw, and Skunk Creek, which together illustrate the hydrologic patterns of the High Plains. The map highlights human modification of the arid environment through the placement of Madsen Reservoir and Anderson Reservoir, critical water storage points for ranching operations. The prominence of Patsy Draw and Dry Draw further emphasizes the seasonal nature of the local geography. As a provisional edition, this survey documents the exact drainage patterns and unimproved roads that supported local land use before more modern developments, serving as a precise record for land management and genealogical research in this sparsely settled region.
