1963 Map of Cattail Ranch NE

About this map

Iowa Center Flats dominates this portion of Goshen County, representing a high plateau landscape defined by deep drainages and intermittent water sources. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely open rangeland, characterized by the sharp incisions of Fox Creek as it cuts eastward across the terrain. The small settlement of Horton stands as the primary namesake location in the southern portion of the sheet, providing a fixed point for researchers tracing family history or ranching operations in this corner of Wyoming. Scattered water resources like the named Spring highlight the critical importance of water access for the livestock and homesteads that occupied these upland flats during the mid-20th century.
