2018 Map of South Fork Reservoir

About this map

The Cheyenne River Divide dominates the central portion of this 2018 survey, marking the topographical split between critical drainage basins in Converse County. The southern reach is defined by the South Fork Reservoir and the Eskew Number 2 Reservoir, which serve as vital water management points in this semi-arid landscape. Waterways like the Middle Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River and Phillips Cr reveal a complex drainage pattern that has dictated land use in the region for generations. In the northwest, the broad, level expanse of Allemand Flat contrasts with the broken terrain of Pine Gulch. The map captures a landscape of cattle ranching and resource management, where travel is facilitated by corridors such as Co RD 23. This detailed record illustrates the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made infrastructure on the Wyoming plains.
