About this map

Wildcat is situated within the high plains of Campbell County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and ephemeral water sources. The map reveals a ranching and rural layout centered around water management, featuring Horse Cr Reservoir in the northwest and Fletcher Reservoir to the southeast. These man-made features, alongside named drainages like N Fork Wildcat Cr and Jamison Prong Wildcat Cr, suggest the importance of water security in this arid Wyoming environment.

Transportation is sparse, consisting primarily of section roads such as Middle Prong Rd and Taylor Rd, which navigate the various coulees and draws. The geography is notably detailed with family-named or descriptive landmarks, including Lone Tree Draw, Hensley Draw, and Soukup Draw. This 2017 survey reflects the modern agricultural character of the region, documenting the continued utility of the land through its specific hydraulic and topographic nomenclature.
