About this map

The Cheyenne River Divide dominates this high-plains landscape in Converse County, dictating the complex network of ephemeral waterways that carve through the local topography. This arid region is defined by the headwaters of the Dry Fork Cheyenne River, which is joined by its southern and middle forks near the bottom of the map. Human alteration of the water-scarce environment is evidenced by the Eskew Number 2 Reservoir, a critical water management point for local ranching operations.

Transport through this part of Wyoming is facilitated by Co RD 23, which cuts through the central sections to connect the various drainages. To the north, the broad expanse of Allemand Flat gives way to the deep incisions of N Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr. The terrain is also marked by Pine Gulch and the southern flow of Phillips Cr, showing a landscape shaped by seasonal runoff and long-term erosion.
