About this map

The Wildcat Hills dominate the northeastern corner of this corner of Wyoming, where the high plains break into a series of significant canyons and draws along the Platte Co Goshen Co line. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Broom Cr and Patten Cr cutting through the terrain, supported by reliable water sources like Broom Creek Spring and Patten Creek Spring.

Remote roads such as Patten Creek Rd and Kindness Trl navigate the complex topography, providing access to landmarks like Hell Gap and Whalen Canyon. The mapping of Grant Agnew Draw and Sam Draw reflects the importance of these named geographical features for land navigation and ranching boundaries in this arid environment. The transition from the open flats of Webb Canyon to the more confined 4 J Canyon illustrates the varying character of the Wyoming rangeland during the early 21st century.
