1981 Map of Coyote Gap

About this map

Coyote Gap serves as a prominent landmark within the high plains of Niobrara County, where the elevation rises significantly into the Seaman Hills. This landscape is defined by a dendritic drainage network of ephemeral streams and draws, including Old Woman Creek, Alum Creek, and Coyote Creek. The presence of several Drill Holes and a Gravel Pit indicate localized industrial activity and resource extraction during the mid-1970s. A prominent Pipeline cuts through the western section of the map, following the general path of the creek beds. The transition from the flat draws like Sand Draw and Hales Draw to the more broken terrain of the hills reveals the characteristic topography of this eastern Wyoming cattle country before more modern infrastructure intensified.
