About this map

Underwood Crossing marks a significant waypoint along the Cheyenne River in this high-plains landscape. The area is characterized by an intricate drainage network where Wagonhound Cr, Horse Cr, and Sheep Cr converge toward the river valley. Significant portions of the terrain fall within the Thunder Basin National Grassland, reflecting the region's managed open space and ranching heritage.

Topographic details reveal a land defined by erosion and water management, from the Miller Hills in the south to the distinct cuts of Rattlesnake Draw and Good Draw. Local water resources are anchored by Nachtman Reservoir and Dull Reservoir, which serve as critical landmarks in this arid environment. This map also traces the county line between Converse Co and Niobrara Co, showing how early ranching roads like Dull Center Rd and Lynch Rd navigate the undulating prairie.
