About this map

Ulm serves as the central settlement point in this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains are defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and intermittent creeks. The terrain is deeply inscribed by these erosional features, including Robb Draw, Town Draw, and P K Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger watercourses like Middle Fork Arkansas Cr and N Prong Arkansas Cr. The dominance of named draws suggests a landscape where water management and specific topographic landmarks were critical for early ranching and land division.

Industrial and agricultural signatures are visible in the placement of Pinhead Reservoir and the network of county roads such as Dutch Creek Rd and Coal Creek Rd. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting scattered draws like Bruglusher Draw and Prusak Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized section of the Wyoming range, where every tributary and depression carries a specific name for navigation and land management.
