About this map

The high plains of Campbell County are defined by a network of seasonal drainage basins and small water impoundments, centered on the location of Wildcat. The landscape is etched by numerous named ephemeral channels, known locally as draws, such as Ruff Draw, Homestead Draw, and Soukup Draw. These features, along with Dry Gulch and Gibbon Draw, illustrate the complex erosion patterns and water management required in this arid Wyoming environment. Significant water resources like Horse Cr Reservoir, Scott Reservoir, and Fletcher Reservoir provide essential catchment points along the N Fork Wildcat Cr and its tributaries.

Local transportation is facilitated by thoroughfares including Middle Prong Rd and Taylor Rd, which provide access across the township and range divisions of this ranching country. The presence of features like Bright Spring Draw and Boruff Draw points to the importance of specific landmarks and water sources in a region where the Jamison Prong Wildcat Cr and Wildcat Cr serve as the primary hydrologic spines.
