About this map

Poison Cr meanders across this high plains landscape in Fremont County, providing a critical hydrological focal point for a region defined by its drainage patterns. The terrain is marked by a series of significant erosional features including Wickersham Draw, Coal Draw, and Gates Draw, which carve through the arid topography. These geographic identifiers suggest a history of seasonal water flow and mineral prospecting, particularly with the naming of Coal Draw in the central portion of the survey area.

Water management is evident at the Ocla Reservoir, situated near the western boundary of the township. In the north, Gibbs Draw and the adjacent Day Gulch further illustrate the deeply etched nature of this Wyoming basin. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system, delineating the boundaries of T38N and T37N, which help orient researchers looking for specific family land tracts or historical water rights in this rural territory.
