About this map

Redbird stands as the primary namesake settlement in this high-plains landscape of eastern Wyoming, situated where Old Hwy 85 intersects the drainages of the northern Niobrara County area. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways and draws, notably Old Woman Cr, which winds through the Old Woman Creek Hills in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey details a landscape where water management is central to land use, evidenced by the presence of the Sorem Number 1 Reservoir and the Clark-and-Metzger Reservoir.

Cattle ranching and local transit patterns are reflected in the naming of rural routes such as Wasserburger Rd and Ant Hills Rd. To the north, the elevation levels out into Culligans Flats, surrounded by significant topographic features like Wheatgrass Draw and Beech Draw. The map captures a specialized rural environment where geography is shaped more by the flow of water and the orientation of historic county roads than by dense urban development.
