2012 Map of Suicide Hill

About this map

Henry Ranch and Mason Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in Converse County, where the intricate drainages of the Dry Fork Cheyenne River shape the terrain. The geography is defined by the Cheyenne River Divide, a watershed partition that rises above numerous grazing areas and topographical basins. Named flats, including Ed Henry Flat, Barron Flats, and Harland Flat, suggest a long history of cattle ranching across these open stretches. Water is the primary architect here, with Brush Cr and Duck Cr carving deep into the earth. The most prominent landmark, Suicide Hill, stands as a sentinel over the eastern portion of the survey. The settlement pattern is sparse, represented by legacy family operations such as the Eighty-Eight Ranch and Hornbuckle Ranch, connected by isolated routes like Ross Rd.
