1951 Map of Eagles Nest

About this map

Eagles Nest sits at the edge of the dramatic Eagles Nest Canyon in this early 1950s study of the Wyoming landscape. The map captures a transition in the terrain as the upland breaks into the massive depression of the Goshen Hole to the southeast. Water sources are critical in this arid ranching environment, noted by the Cottonwood Spring and numerous Windmill sites across the Platte and Goshen county line.
