About this map

Sheridan County's high plains drainage patterns are meticulously detailed in this 2015 study of the Wyoming landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and draws that feed the regional watershed, including the uniquely named Black Stump Draw and Dead Mans Draw in the southern reaches. This area is a complex web of seasonal watercourses where the W Prong Hanging Woman Cr and its tributaries, such as the East Prong W Prong Hanging Woman Cr, navigate the subtle elevation changes of the prairie.

Water management is evident through the inclusion of Griffith Reservoir and the Roberts Luman Draw Reservoir, which capture runoff in an otherwise arid environment. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across townships like t56n r79w and t56n r80w. From Mile Long Draw to Foxhall Draw, the labels reveal a landscape shaped by both natural erosion and local ranching history, where every fold in the earth is named and accounted for.
