About this map

The small settlement of Ulm serves as the focal point for this 1970 landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the drainage of Lone Tree Creek. This area of Sheridan County is defined by an intricate network of waterways and ephemeral draws, including Arkansas Creek, Dutch Creek, and Ash Creek. The topography is shaped by countless geographic features with distinct local names such as Coleman Draw, Jones Draw, and Prusak Draw.

Human modification of the arid environment is evident in the presence of the Pinhead Reservoir and several mapped springs. A complex system of unimproved routes and a Jeep Trail navigate the ridges between creek beds like Dry Creek and Negro Creek. The map reflects the ranching and rail-oriented character of northern Wyoming in the late twentieth century, before modern developments altered the rural township lines of T. 55 N. and T. 54 N.
