2012 Map of Sherrill Hills

About this map

Sherrill Hills and Bald Butte define this high plains landscape along the Wyoming-Nebraska border, where water management is central to the land's utility. Numerous man-made features like Keel Stock Reservoir, Swope Reservoir, and Turner Number 1 Reservoir are distributed across the terrain, indicating a ranching economy dependent on captured seasonal runoff. The small settlement of Whitman sits in the southwestern corner near the junction of Hat Creek Rd and Whitman Rd, serving as a local anchor in an otherwise sparsely populated area. The drainage network is complex, characterized by erosional features such as Delores Draw, Swope Draw, and Turner Draw, which feed into various branches of Indian Cr and Sage Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern road network, including Indian Creek Rd and Schnurr Rd, which navigate the various draws and hills of this borderland region.
