About this map

Sybille Creek and its many branches define this high-country landscape along the border of Albany and Platte Counties. The complex drainage network includes North Sybille Creek, Middle Sybille Creek, and South Fork Sybille Creek, which carve through the Sybille Hills and the deep North Sybille Canyon. Several high points dominate the horizon, including Poe Mountain and Gold Hill, while numerous named draws and canyons like Cottonwood Draw and Tower Canyon illustrate the intricate erosion patterns of the region.

Water management is central to the land use here, evidenced by Johnson Reservoir, Grant Creek Reservoir, and Dover Reservoir Number 2. Local ranching and access are supported by a network of rural roads such as Clemons Ranch Road and Halleck Canyon Road, which connect these remote uplands to the surrounding plains. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain just before it descends into the lower elevations of the neighboring county.
