2015 Map of Eagles Nest

About this map

Eagles Nest and the surrounding high plains of Goshen County define this segment of the Wyoming landscape. The terrain is marked by the distinct elevation change of the Goshen Hole Rim, which descends into the broad expanse of Goshen Hole in the southeastern quadrant. This geological transition creates a sharp contrast between the higher plateau and the drainage basins below. Water features are primarily intermittent, represented by Cottonwood Draw and Little Cottonwood Draw, with Cottonwood Falls located in the northwest. The land is partitioned by a network of rural routes, including Deer Creek Rd and Antelope Gap Rd, which follow the natural contours of the canyons and ridges. The boundary between Platte and Goshen Counties runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions in this sparsely populated ranching and grazing region.
