2012 Map of Ross Flat

About this map

Ross Flat defines this expanse of Campbell County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and creek beds. In the early 21st century, the landscape remains characterized by large-scale cattle ranching operations, marked by the Moore Ranch in the northeast and the WG Taylor Ranch further south. The drainage patterns are dominated by the meandering paths of Antelope Cr and Wind Cr, which converge amidst several named geographical depressions including Bull Gulch and Spring Draw. Access to this isolated territory is primarily facilitated by Ross Rd, a lone thoroughfare crossing the southern portion of the quadrangle. This survey illustrates the persistent ranching tradition in Wyoming, showing how human settlement persists along the edges of natural waterways like Ninemile Cr and within the shelter of various draws such as Red Rock Draw.
