About this map

Grayrocks Reservoir dominates the southeast corner of this Platte County landscape, reflecting the modern management of water in Wyoming's high plains. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems and named water sources, including the northern Warm Springs and Box Springs further south. These points of reliable water were vital to early settlement and livestock operations in the arid region.

The map reveals a rugged terrain of high-altitude flats and deep cuts, such as the Bettelyoun Flats and the winding Big Sand Draw that carves through the central portion of the quadrangle. In the north, Warm Springs Canyon provides a dramatic elevation change. Local transit is concentrated on Battle Rd and Grayrocks Rd, routes that follow the natural contours of the land while providing access to these distinct topographical features.
