About this map

Allemand Flat characterizes the high prairie landscape of Converse County in this 2015 survey, where the drainages of the Dry Fork Cheyenne River and the S Fork Cheyenne River converge. The terrain is defined by the Cheyenne River Divide, a geographic feature that separates the seasonal waters of the Bear Creek system, including the N Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr, from the larger Cheyenne River watershed to the south.

Water management is central to this arid region, evidenced by the South Fork Reservoir and the Eskew Number 2 Reservoir. These catchments, along with landmarks like Pine Gulch and Middle Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River, illustrate the hydraulic engineering required for ranching and resource management in the Wyoming backcountry. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System grid across Townships 36N through 38N.
