2012 Map of Warfield Creek

About this map

Old Dutch John Ranch serves as a lone historical marker of settlement in this high Wyoming landscape, situated near the intersection of several branching drainage systems. The hydrology of the region is characterized by seasonal water management, evident in the placement of the Richey Reservoir in the north and the Skull Point Reservoir to the east. These features, along with Fmc Reservoir, reflect the importance of water storage in an environment defined by ephemeral streams like Little Muddy Cr and Warfield Cr. Cavanaugh Peak provides a dominant topographical reference point overlooking the complex network of hollows and creeks. The presence of Warfield Springs suggests a natural water source that likely influenced the early traversal and naming of this area long before modern surveying.
