2021 Map of Ucross

About this map

Ucross sits at the confluence of Piney Creek and Clear Creek, serving as a focal point for a complex network of agricultural waterways near the Sheridan Co Johnson Co boundary. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation infrastructure, including the Pratt and Ferris Ditch Number 1, Big Bonanza Ditch, and Des Moines Ditch, which redirect water from the primary creeks to support local ranching and farming operations. To the north, prominent elevations like Blazer Hill rise above numerous drainages such as Donkey Cr and Spring Draw. The presence of smaller water management features, including the Pitsch Reservoir and Little Red Reservoir Number 2, alongside evocative road names like Rustlers Trl and Chuckwagon Trl, illustrates a region deeply tied to its cattle-ranching heritage and the careful stewardship of semi-arid lands.
