2017 Map of The Park

About this map

The Park name applies to this high plains stretch of Converse County, where the drainage networks of several creek forks carve a complex topography. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of E Fork Shawnee Cr and Middle Fork Shawnee Cr, alongside several other tributaries such as Whackoff Cr and S Fork Walker Cr. The mapping reveals a sparse but established network of rural infrastructure, including Wintermute Rd and Flat Top Rd, which connect remote ranching or energy sites across the undulating terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Shawnee Cem located in the southeastern portion of the map, a critical landmark for tracing early residents of this region. Water management is evident near the southern boundary at the Wintermute-Number 1 Reservoir, serving as a vital resource in this arid environment of canyons and draws like Sawmill Canyon and Fero Draw.
