2017 Map of Snoose Creek

About this map

Tennessee Flat anchors the central landscape of this western prairie terrain, where the headwaters and drainage networks of several seasonal creeks define the geography. The map illustrates a remote intersection of land management and natural drainage, with the north-south boundary between Fergus Co and Petroleum Co bisecting the region. Watercourses such as Yellow Water Creek, Elk Creek, and Bender Creek meander through the coulees, illustrating the complex hydrology of the high plains. The transition of the landscape is further marked by Snoose Creek in the southeastern portion. This survey provides a precise look at the sparse transportation network of the late 2010s, including Elk Creek Rd and King Ranch Rd, which follow the natural contours and ridges between the various creek basins.
