About this map

Ross Flat characterizes this high plains landscape along the border of Campbell and Converse counties. The area is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage systems, most notably Antelope Cr and its tributaries which carve through the terrain. Evidence of the region's ranching and rural infrastructure is seen in the path of Nine Mile Creek Rd and Co Rd 31, which provide access across the sectioned townships.

Several family-named and descriptive topographic features like McNaughton Draw, Red Rock Draw, and Bull Gulch indicate a history of local land usage and navigation in an area where water is the primary architect of the geography. Smaller waterways such as Wind Cr and Ninemile Cr further articulate the watershed patterns that have influenced settlement and grazing boundaries since the original land surveys.
