2017 Map of Petsch Reservoir

About this map

Horse Cr dominates the drainage patterns across this high plains borderland, where the boundary between Goshen Co and Laramie Co divides the landscape. This 2017 survey shows an area defined by carefully managed water resources and a rural road network, including Co RD 236 and Co RD 6. The southern portion of the quadrangle features the Petsch Reservoir, fed by the distinct branches of Kellehan Cr and E Kellehan Cr. The presence of the Coad Ditch in the northwest and naming of seasonal watercourses like Fourmile Draw and Stinking Water Cr reflect the vital importance of irrigation and watershed management in this Wyoming interior. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grids, showing the townships from T18N to T19N and ranges from R60W to R62W, providing a precise spatial framework for land ownership and historical research.
