About this map

Poison Creek meanders through the arid landscape of central Wyoming, defining the drainage patterns of this high-plains region. The terrain is characterized by a series of erosion-carved features such as Gibbs Draw, Gates Draw, and Day Gulch, which channel intermittent water during the spring thaw. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the presence of small stock or irrigation catchments like the Dinty Moore Reservoir and Ocla Reservoir.

A sparse network of roads, including the descriptively named Jeep Pasture Rd, provides access to these ranching and grazing lands. The map illustrates the dominance of the Public Land Survey System grid across Fremont County, where the topography of Wickersham Draw and Fuller Gulch dictates the movement of livestock and wildlife. This 2023 survey from the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape defined by its hydrology and vast open-range boundaries.
