2017 Map of Haushar Ranch

About this map

Haushar Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Platte County, where the terrain is defined by a series of named draws and canyons. The presence of Sawmill Canyon and Buckshot Draw suggests a history of localized natural resource use and rugged frontier navigation. The elevation rises toward the northern boundary at Sheep Mtn and Baldy, while the drainage system of Patten Creek and its many tributaries, such as Boxelder Cr and Spring Cr, dictates the movement across the land. Historical travel routes are preserved through the alignments of Emigrant Hill Rd and Patten Creek Rd, which follow the contours of the drainage basins. This area is characterized by the Dearcorn Draw and South Fork Sand Draw, reflecting a classic Wyoming ranching environment where water sources and topography determined the location of early outposts.
