2017 Map of Dilts Ranch

About this map

Dilts Ranch serves as a primary marker in this section of the Wyoming high plains, situated near the northwestern corner where La Bonte Cr flows through the drainages. A notable historic corridor, the Emigrant Trl, cuts across the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, preserving the physical memory of westward expansion routes. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages including Sand Creek, Spring Cr, and Indian Cr, which carve into the terrain across the border of Converse and Platte Counties. Further south, the map details the upper reaches of N Elkhorn Cr and Coffee Cr, illustrating the rugged water-carved topography that dictated early ranching boundaries and transportation paths in this part of the state.
