About this map

Highland Flats and Taylor Flats dominate this landscape in central Wyoming, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal watercourses. The 1984 survey reveals a ranching-focused economy centered around landmarks like the Leuenberger Ranch and Sandpoint Ranch. The distribution of water is a primary theme of the map, as evidenced by the numerous named stock ponds and catchment areas including Antelope Reservoir and Fawn Reservoir.

Tracing the drainage patterns from the Gage Creek Divide, the map identifies the intricate headwaters of the North Fork Box Creek and Willow Creek. Cultural imprints are sparse but specific, including the Sewage Disposal Ponds and the aptly named School Section Draw, reflecting the late-century management of these public and private lands. The terrain is further defined by various mining activity, simply noted by several Mine and Tailings labels.
