About this map

Cheyenne River and its various tributaries define this mid-1980s landscape in Converse County, where the high plains terrain is marked by prominent landforms like Monument Hill and Red Hill. The area's industrial character is indicated by scattered operations labeled simply as Mines and Mine, positioned near the drainage of Brush Creek. This period of land use shows a network of unimproved roads and trails connecting these remote points across the Highland Flats in the southern portion of the sheet.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the geography here, with Dry Fork, Duck Creek, and Willow Creek cutting through the topography. The presence of Genevieve Draw and Skunk Creek further illustrates the complex watershed that feeds the larger river system. This survey captures a specific moment of transition in Wyoming’s high country, balancing ranching-era water features with localized mineral extraction.
