2021 Map of Walker Creek School

About this map

Walker Creek School stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape of northern Converse County, where the topography is defined by the branching drainage networks of the Cheyenne River watershed. The terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions such as Well Draw and Gould Draw, which funnel runoff toward larger channels like Walker Cr and Piney Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a ranching landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System, with a sparse road network including Co RD 53 and Dickau Rd connecting isolated homesteads and water resources. The presence of Herrick Reservoir and various creeks like Cottonwood Cr and W Fork Twentymile Cr underscores the importance of water management in this arid cattle-country environment.
