2017 Map of S R Springs

About this map

S R Springs serves as the focal point for this section of Sheridan County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and named draws. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Badger Creek system, including Middle Fork Badger Cr and S Fork Badger Cr, which branch out across the township lines. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-country character of the region, marked by isolated water sources like Barrel Spring and several prominent geographic features named by early ranchers, such as Upton Gulch, Spear Draw, and Peters Gulch. While few permanent structures are noted, the presence of Badger Creek Rd and Co Rd 86 provides the primary access through these grazing lands, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the natural corridors between the many draws, such as Mile Long Draw.
