About this map

Underwood Crossing serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape, situated where the Cheyenne River winds through Converse County. This 2012 survey documents a ranching-heavy geography defined by sprawling family operations such as the Irene Ranch, Nachtman Ranch, and Saddler Ranch. The drainage network is complex, featuring Horse Cr, Sheep Cr, and the eponymous Wagonhound Cr, which cut through various topographical depressions like Rattlesnake Draw and Good Draw.

Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the presence of Dull Reservoir and H Nachtman Reservoir Number 1. The road network is sparse but functional, centered on arterial routes like Lynch Rd and Dull Center Rd, which connect the isolated ranching outposts. This map provides a contemporary view of the region's enduring agricultural layout and its reliance on the natural waterways of the eastern Wyoming plains.
