2021 Map of Rattlesnake Gulch

About this map

Cedar Ridge and the winding drainage of Owl Cr define the high plains character of this Hot Springs County landscape. The area is marked by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses including Rattlesnake Gulch, Eagle Draw, and South Fork Coal Draw, illustrating the erosional patterns of the Wyoming basin. Modern infrastructure is limited to rural thoroughfares like Missouri Flat Rd and Red Canyon Rd, which navigate the varying elevations between Meeteetse Draw and Alkali Draw. The presence of the Rush Reservoir in the western portion of the map provides a rare permanent water feature in an otherwise arid drainage system. This 2021 survey details the intersections of historic township boundaries and the modern road network, including residential traces along Georgia St and Nostrum St near the southern map edge.
