About this map

Fletcher Reservoir and Horse Cr Reservoir serve as critical water management points in this high plains landscape of Campbell County. The drainage network is dominated by the Wildcat Creek system, including North Fork Wildcat Creek and Jamison Prong Wildcat Creek. These seasonal watercourses carve a complex series of draws and gulches across the terrain, reflecting the arid conditions and the importance of surface water collection for ranching and land use in this part of Wyoming.

Local transport and land management are anchored by routes like Middle Prong Road and Taylor Road. The map reveals a history of land claims and seasonal habitation through features like Homestead Draw, Bright Spring Draw, and Lone Tree Draw. These family and landmark names, alongside Soukup Draw and Boruff Draw, provide essential identifiers for genealogists and researchers tracing the history of open-range holdings and early 21st-century rural development.
