About this map

Redbird sits at the intersection of rural ranching routes and water management in Niobrara County, where the high plains terrain is defined by complex drainage systems. The landscape is marked by the Old Woman Creek Hills and extensive flatlands like Culligans Flats, punctuated by named draws including Wheatgrass Draw and Beech Draw. These topographic features dictate the flow of seasonal water into vital local catchments such as the Sorem Number 1 Reservoir, Amelia Number 1 Reservoir, and the Clark and Metzger Reservoir.

Transportation through this portion of eastern Wyoming follows established corridors such as Old Highway 85 and Redbird Rd, while more specialized routes like Oil Well Rd hint at the local resource economy. This survey documents a working landscape where water security is paramount, reflected in the careful labeling of every creek and reservoir, from Old Woman Cr to the more distant Black Tail Cr.
