About this map

S R Springs and the surrounding drainage network of the Powder River Basin define this 2015 survey of north-central Wyoming. The landscape is characterized by a series of significant erosional features and seasonal water sources, including the expansive Mile Long Draw and the distinctively named Black Stump Draw. Water management in this arid ranching country is evidenced by the 4X Reservoir and various springs like Barrel Spring that sustain the local ecosystem.

A complex web of tributaries to the Badger Creek system, such as Middle Fork Badger Cr and Parker Prong Badger Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of Sheridan County. While largely undeveloped, the map shows the transition from rural roads like Whitmeyer Rd and CR 122 into the open draws and gulches, including Upton Gulch and Peters Gulch, that have long dictated movement through this part of the state.
