1990 Map of Casebier Hill

About this map

Old Government Farm (Historic Site) stands as a primary historical landmark within this Goshen County landscape, marking a legacy of early agricultural activity and government presence. The terrain is defined by the broad Crescent Basin and the prominent elevation of Casebier Hill, with the drainage patterns of Cottonwood Draw and Britain Draw carving through the plains. The map illustrates a sparse ranching environment, exemplified by the Meyers Ranch and several perennial water sources like Woodworth Spring. Historical transportation routes are evident in the alignment of the Fort Laramie Road and Ridge Road, which likely followed established paths across the high prairie. The distribution of these ranch sites and tracks reflects the region's enduring reliance on natural springs and the proximity to the historic Fort Laramie area.
