2017 Map of Carpenter Ranch

About this map

The Wyoming-Nebraska state line bisects this landscape, marking a transition between the rangelands of Goshen and Sioux counties. Centered on the Carpenter Ranch, the area is defined by the critical management of water in an arid environment, notably through the Carpenter Reservoir Number 1 and the engineered path of the Interstate Canal. This irrigation infrastructure, including Lateral Number 2, supports the agricultural operations and cattle ranching that have long characterized the High Plains. High points like Indian River Hill, Coyote Hill, and the locally named Hill Windmill provide relief in a terrain otherwise carved by intermittent watercourses like George Draw. A sparse network of rural routes, including Henry Rd and Moore Rd, connects the remote ranching outposts across the high prairie.
