1950 Map of Cottonwood Falls

About this map

Cottonwood Falls marks the center of this Wyoming landscape, where the waters of Cottonwood Creek cut through the terrain of Platte County. The western edge of the map is defined by the boundary of the Medicine Bow National Forest, illustrating the intersection of managed timberlands and the open grazing territory common in this part of the state. These hills are etched with a series of drainage systems including Crow Creek, Dagley Creek, and Sand Draw, which dictate the local topography.
