2021 Map of Telephone Draw

About this map

Telephone Draw characterizes this stretch of the Wyoming high plains, where the land is etched by seasonal watercourses and prominent local landmarks. The drainage network is central to the landscape, featuring the winding paths of Young Woman Cr and Old Woman Cr, alongside the E Fork Buck Cr. This topography reflects the essential cattle-ranching and water-management history of Niobrara County, anchored by features like the Leismer Number 1 Reservoir. Significant relief is provided by the Buck Creek Hills in the north and isolated high points such as Tim Butte and Castle Rock to the south. The sparse road network, including Meridian Rd and Buck Creek Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly division of this open range land into its respective townships and ranges.
