About this map

Richeau Hills dominate this portion of Platte County, where a complex network of drainage systems defines the high-altitude topography. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and traditional ranching infrastructure, such as the Home Ranch Spring and the Richard Reservoir Number 1 near the southern boundary. This area is characterized by its numerous named creeks, including Hunton Cr, S Hunton Cr, and N Richeau Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the path of local transit.

Transportation is limited to established routes like Brush Creek Rd and Diamond Rd, reflecting the sparse settlement of this high plains environment. Landmarks such as Squaw Hill and the descriptive Watergap Cr provide essential navigation points within the sprawling hills. The map details the Public Land Survey System township and range lines, providing a clear framework for researchers interested in the historical land divisions and water rights of this Wyoming landscape.
