1984 Map of Seven L Creek East

About this map

Pine Ridge dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, marking a prominent topographic break in the high plains of eastern Wyoming. This 1984 survey reveals a complex drainage network where seasonal waterways have etched numerous draws and creek beds into the terrain. The border between Natrona Co and Converse Co runs vertically through the center of the sheet, dividing a region defined by its hydrological features rather than town centers. Numerous named ephemeral channels like Charmer Draw, Snake Draw, and Coyote Draw converge toward larger arteries such as Seven L Creek and Shonsy Creek. The density of these named draws and the presence of Sand Spring Creek indicate a landscape where water access dictated movement and land use. This map serves as a primary record of the physical geography of the Powder River Basin area during the late twentieth century.
