1990 Map of Eagles Nest

About this map

Eagles Nest Canyon defines this high-plains landscape on the boundary of Platte and Goshen Counties. Revised in the 1990s, the map illustrates the persistence of remote ranching and water-management infrastructure in eastern Wyoming. Water sources like Cottonwood Spring and seasonal drainages such as Cottonwood Draw and Deer Creek reveal the vital role of riparian corridors in this arid environment. Human activity is sparse and functional, evidenced by the transit route of Antelope Gap Road, a mapped Pipeline, and a solitary Generator station. This survey is particularly useful for identifying traditional livestock crossings and natural landmarks like Antelope Gap that have guided movement through the region for generations.
