About this map

American Fork and its various tributaries, including Spring Creek and Lebo Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern through this Wheatland County landscape. The area is defined by its water management systems, notably the series of structures including Cinnamon Number 1 Dam, Cinnamon Number 3 Dam, and Cinnamon Number 4 Dam, which suggest a concentrated focus on ranching or agricultural irrigation in the high plains.

Settlement is sparse, anchored by the namesake Ten O'Clock Gate and the landing area at Baxter Strip. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks like the Red Basin and The Madison, while Big Spring provides a vital natural water source in the central portion of the map. To the south, the land drops into Altman Coulee before reaching Fish Creek, illustrating the seasonal watercourses that define the region's topography.
