About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, marking a rugged intersection of Wyoming ranch lands and water rights. Centered near Dull Center, the map reveals a remote pastoral network defined by small-scale irrigation and cattle ranching infrastructure. Private water management is evident in the presence of Dull Reservoir and Nachtman Reservoir, which capture runoff from intermittent drainages like Rattlesnake Draw and Sheep Creek.

Social and industrial activity is centered around the Nachtman Sch and the traversing Lance Creek Road. The map also captures early energy development in the region, indicated by various Oil Wells and a pipeline cutting across the drainages of Wagonhound Creek and Horse Creek. To the south, the terrain rises into the Miller Hills, while the northern boundary at Underwood Crossing highlights a historical point of transit over the river.
