About this map

Vollman Ranch stands as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Converse County, where the terrain is defined by broad plateaus and winding drainage systems. The topography is shaped by the Box Creek Divide, which separates the seasonal watercourses flowing through the area. Several distinct flatlands, including Highland Flats and Taylor Flats, illustrate the open character of the Wyoming ranching country.

Surface water is sparse, with Willow Cr and Skunk Cr threading through the northern reaches while the N Fork Box Cr carves across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The localized water management of the era is evidenced by Buck Reservoir in the east. Access across this cattle-grazing territory is maintained by a network of unimproved and local routes like Highland Loop Rd and Willow Creek Rd, which connect the namesake Whipple Hollow to the surrounding basins.
