About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the rising terrain of the Beaver Creek Hills meets the high country. A network of complex drainages including Big Goose Creek and Little Goose Creek flow through the region, shaped by an extensive system of irrigation ditches and pipelines that speak to the managed water economy of Sheridan County. The presence of the Red Grade Road providing access to the forest highlands is a primary landmark for local navigation and history.

Agricultural and recreational uses are evident through the Polo Field and Landing Strip near Barr Draw, along with industrial traces like a Drill Hole and Gravel Pit. The map is characterized by family-named landmarks and draws such as Jeffries Draw, Jones Draw, and Garber Draw, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing property holdings and historic homesteads in this part of Wyoming during the mid-1960s.
