2012 Map of Poddy Creek

About this map

The Cheyenne River flows across this high-plains landscape in Weston County, defining a region where water management and ranching are central to the geography. Isolated outposts such as the Sewell Ranch and Dixon Ranch are connected by a network of rural routes including Dull Center Rd and Cheyenne River Rd, reflecting the expansive nature of modern Wyoming ranching operations. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal drainages and named topographic depressions like School Draw and Dixon Draw, which feed into the primary arteries of Black Thunder Cr and Poddy Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates how family-named landmarks and water rights continue to shape the map of the American West, providing a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and hydrological patterns near the state's eastern border.
