2021 Map of Habig Spring

About this map

The Fort Laramie Canal winds through this corner of Goshen County, defining the agricultural viability of an otherwise arid high-plains landscape. This 2021 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in the region, tracing the path of the canal alongside the Grattan Ditch and numerous named draws and washes. Natural water sources like Habig Spring and Sandercock Spring are central landmarks, likely serving as historic watering points for livestock and travelers in a terrain characterized by prominent geological features. Elevation changes are marked by distinctive formations such as Twin Buttes, Chalk Hill, and Whitehorse Butte. The map also details a dense grid of rural corridors, including Deer Creek Rd and Duncan Hill Rd, which connect the scattered plateaus of Harmony Heights and London Flats.
