About this map

Horton serves as the primary point of settlement in this northern corner of Wyoming, where a network of county roads like Cold Springs Rd and McMoran Rd traverse a landscape defined by deep draws and watercourses. The hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Inyan Kara Cr and Soldier Cr, which drain the varied terrain of the Black Hills foothills. Local history is anchored by the Green Mountain Cem, located near the southern border alongside Green Mountain Rd.

Evidence of the area's topographical prominence is found at Homestake Lookout, while significant natural depressions such as Lost Canyon, Melquist Gulch, and the eponymous Dry Draw illustrate the erosive forces of the region's seasonal drainage. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the rural road structure and land use patterns that continue to shape the community and its connection to the surrounding wilderness.
