2021 Map of Warbonnet Ranch

About this map

High plains ranchland and sophisticated water management define this corner of Sioux County. The landscape is marked by numerous man-made impoundments, including Wasserburger Reservoir Number 1, Caladonia Reservoir, and Snyder Reservoir, which support livestock in this arid environment. The topography shifts dramatically in the south at Monroe Canyon, where the elevation drops into a complex series of draws and ridges. Drainage networks like Warbonnet Cr, Jim Cr, and Squaw Cr lace across the northern sections, while Prairie Dog Cr cuts through the east. This modern survey illustrates how grazing operations and water rights dictate the local geography, with rural routes such as Schnurr Rd and Edgemont Rd providing the primary access through these townships.
