2021 Map of Wagonhound Creek NE

About this map

Fred Number 1 Reservoir and the drainage network of northern Niobrara County define this landscape of the High Plains. This 2021 topographic survey illustrates the intersection of rural land management and natural topography, where dry watercourses like Fred Draw, Windmill Draw, and Piney Draw dictate the local geography. The map shows the sparsely populated character of the region, anchored by the winding path of N Lance Creek Rd as it traverses the terrain. Intermittent streams including Owl Cr, Snyder Cr, and Snider Cr represent the seasonal hydrology essential to ranching and land use in this corner of Wyoming. The detailed contour work provided by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights the subtle elevation shifts across the several townships surveyed here.
