About this map

Eagles Nest and the surrounding Eagles Nest Canyon define the dramatic topography of this section of the Wyoming high plains. The landscape is marked by significant erosion features, including the sprawling Cottonwood Draw and Little Cottonwood Draw, which channel drainage toward the north. A critical geological and geographical boundary is found in the south, where the Goshen Hole Rim drops into the lower elevations of Goshen Hole.

Transport through this ranching country relies on a network of named tracks such as Antelope Gap Rd and Dickinson Hill Rd, which navigate the varying elevations. Water sources are scarce but significant, centered on Cottonwood Falls Spring and seasonal drainages like Deer Cr and Cherry Cr. This map documents a sparsely populated but geographically complex intersection of Platte and Goshen Counties.
