1970 Map of Ucross

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Piney Creek and Clear Creek define the central valley of this northern Wyoming landscape, where an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure supports the regional ranching economy. The settlement of Ucross sits at the confluence of these waters, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. The map reveals the intricate management of water in an arid environment, documenting numerous named channels such as the Pratt and Ferris Ditch, Athorpe Rogers Ditch, and Big Bonanza Ditch. These man-made features weave through the terrain alongside natural drainages like Bourret Draw and Coal Draw. The boundary between Sheridan and Johnson counties bisects the quadrangle, which is also marked by topographical landmarks like Blazer Hill and the Gaging Sta near the creeks. A complex of ranch roads and a Jeep Trail provide access across the varied draws and ridges of the high plains.
