1984 Map of South Fork Reservoir

About this map

The North Fork Cheyenne River and South Fork Cheyenne River converge in this high-plains landscape of Converse County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, where intermittent waterways like Prairie Dog Draw, Cottonwood Draw, and Aguilar Spring Draw cut through the arid ranching country. Evidence of water management for livestock and local needs is visible in the presence of South Fork Reservoir, Eskew No 2 Reservoir, and Lone Pine Res. A prominent Divide runs through the northern portion of the area, separating the primary river forks. This provisional data shows the sparsely populated ranching territory before significant modern development, focusing on the natural water features and topographical breaks that dictated land use in this part of the Wyoming interior.
