2012 Map of Sheldon Creek

About this map

Inyan Kara Cr and Sheldon Cr define the drainage patterns of this high plains region, where local ranching and water management shape the landscape. Small settlements like Greenwood and the Arledge Ranch appear alongside evidence of local history at the Cem near the northern border. A network of rural routes, including Upper Inyan Kara Rd and Mason Creek Rd, connects these remote outposts across undulating terrain. Strategic water resources are marked by the Jeff Davis Reservoir and Cedar Reservoir, which provide essential catchments in a territory otherwise defined by seasonal draws like Pat Draw and the distinct rise of Cedar Knoll. The map reveals the critical relationship between livestock operations and the sparse but vital water sources in this part of Crook County.
