About this map

Deer Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this section of the Platte County highlands, overlooking a landscape defined by the drainage basins of Horseshoe Creek and its various forks. The area is marked by a network of rural routes including Horseshoe Creek Rd and Dilts Rd, which follow the natural contours of the draws and gulches.

Ephemeral and perennial water sources like Whiskey Gulch, Sand Draw, and Reeder Draw carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the High Plains. To the north, Pollard Cr and Spring Cr cut across the landscape, while the southern reaches are defined by Middle Bear Creek. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent ranching and open-range character of the region, where land use remains closely tied to the availability of water and the accessibility of topographic features.
