About this map

Ross sits at the eastern edge of this Wyoming landscape, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The area is defined by its watershed patterns, primarily the convergence of the N Fork Wind Cr, S Fork Wind Cr, and the main stem of Wind Cr. This network of draws and prongs, including Red Rock Draw and Fink Prong, highlights the natural water management essential to this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of the Wagon Hound Reservoir and Dull Reservoir.

Traversed by Ross Rd and CR-31, the map illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region where the boundaries of Campbell and Converse Counties meet. The naming of physical features like Avery Draw and Finley Draw suggests a history of local land use and family-named landmarks. The topography reveals the subtle but persistent erosion of the plains, where even the smallest Antelope Cr contributes to the shaping of the terrain.
