About this map

Recluse serves as the central hub of this Campbell County landscape, where the rural crossroads are anchored by the Recluse Cem. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions, including the prominent Horse Creek Butte and several named draws like Gas Draw and Dugout Draw. This 2021 survey illustrates a modern rangeland structure, where historical family and place names are preserved through a grid of local routes such as Oedekoven Rd and Roycin Rd.

Hydrological features like Carson Reservoir and the winding paths of Squaw Cr and Horse Cr dictate the layout of the land, reflecting the drainage patterns essential to this high plains environment. The map provides a contemporary view of these established land divisions and ranching corridors, tracing the relationship between small-scale settlements and the surrounding topography of Dry Gulch and the various branches of the creek systems.
