2015 Map of Piney Creek

About this map

Lightning Cr and its various tributaries, including Box Cr and Walker Cr, carve a complex drainage system through this portion of Converse County. The land is largely defined by this network of ephemeral and perennial streams, with Colter Draw providing a distinct break in the northern topography. Human presence is evidenced primarily by the ranch roads and water management features necessary for life in this arid environment, most notably at the Werner Reservoir in the west. This 2015 survey illustrates how contemporary land use remains tied to the natural watercourses, with Walker Creek Rd and Moore Rd following the terrain's logic. The map also clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System boundaries, specifically the intersection of Townships 35 and 36 North across Ranges 68 and 69 West, providing a precise spatial framework for modern land ownership and historical tracking.
