2012 Map of Robb Draw

About this map

The high plains along the Wyoming-Nebraska border are defined by a complex irrigation network essential to this semi-arid landscape. The Fort Laramie Canal cuts through the center of the region, supported by various water management features like the South Horse Creek Lateral, Table Mountain Lateral, and Kiowa Diversion Lateral Number 1. This infrastructure, alongside the Kaufman Number 1 Reservoir, suggests a managed agricultural environment where water rights dictate the local economy and land use. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community of Janise in the northeast. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks and drainage features including Togy Mound, Eagle Nest, and the broad expanse of Crockett Meadows. The namesake Robb Draw runs through the western portion of the map, illustrating the natural hydrological pathways that the man-made lateral canals were built to augment.
