About this map

The North Platte River winds through the heart of Goshen County in this 2015 study, defining a landscape of riparian lowlands and carved upland draws. The small settlement of Barnes serves as a local waypoint, anchored by the Barnes Bridge which facilitates transit across the river's path. Water management is a primary feature of the local topography, evidenced by the Detention Dike B-3 Reservoir and Gross Reservoir, which support the agricultural and pastoral needs of the high plains.

Erosion and drainage patterns have sculpted distinct terrain features such as Sand Draw, Spring Canyon, and Bovee Draw, which provide natural landmarks for the surrounding ranches. To the south, London Flats offers a stretch of level ground near Habig Draw, while the elevated Harmony Heights provides a vantage point over the river valley. The map also detail the local road network, including WY-157, which connects these rural communities and landmarks.
