About this map

Ulm serves as the central hub of this Sheridan County landscape, where the confluence of ranching roads and water drainage patterns defines the local geography. The settlement is situated at a junction near Prusak Draw and Lone Tree Cr, marking a point of transition between the high plains and the intricate network of draws that channel water toward larger basins. The road network, including the Sheridan-Ulm-Clearmont Rd and Ulm Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, providing access to the various family-named and descriptively titled draws that dominate the topography.

Water management is evident through features like Pinhead Reservoir, which sits along Pinhead Cr in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a complex drainage system featuring the Middle Fork Arkansas Cr, Negro Cr, and Dry Cr, illustrating how the land has been utilized for livestock and resource management. These drainages, such as Robb Draw and Jones Draw, are essential markers for local history and land ownership patterns in this part of Wyoming.
