About this map

Gurney Peak dominates the northern terrain of this Laramie County landscape, where the high plains break into a series of drainages and prominent rock formations. The 1991 inspection of the area reveals a sparse, working landscape defined by water management and ranching infrastructure, including the Petsch Reservoir and the engineered East Ditch No 1 feeding off it. Water sources are critical here, evidenced by numerous Spring and Well locations marked across the quadrangle.

The eastern portion of the map is characterized by the Bushnell area and the north-flowing Kellehan Creek. Human activity is concentrated around scattered landmarks such as the Bruce Radio Tower, a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, and a lone Water Tank in the western reaches. This survey provides a clear look at the township and range system at work in Wyoming's high country, showing the intersection of natural features like Steamboat Rock with established section lines and property divisions.
