2021 Map of Suicide Hill

About this map

The Cheyenne River Divide serves as the dominant hydrological feature of this section of Converse County, partitioning the drainage into various creek systems. The landscape is defined by broad, named basins such as Barron Flats, Harland Flat, and Ed Henry Flat, which suggest a terrain utilized for cattle grazing or sheep ranching. This high-plains region is bisected by the Dry Fork Cheyenne River, with smaller tributaries like Brown Springs Cr and Phillips Cr carving through the prairie. The name Suicide Hill stands out as a stark topographic landmark, while local family or historical identifiers are preserved in features like M-S Hill and Ray Draw. Co RD 31 provides the primary transit artery through this ranching-focused environment.
