2023 Map of Kessler Gap

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Kessler Gap and the surrounding high country of Goshen County define this topographic study, where the plains meet the prominent formations of the southeastern Wyoming range. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage and water management essential to this landscape, including the Kessler Ditch and Bear Creek Ditch. These man-made channels parallel the natural flow of Fox Creek and Bear Creek, illustrating how early ranching and agricultural interests utilized the local hydrology. Rising above the creek beds, significant landmarks such as Castle Rocks and Bear Mtn provided natural navigational aids. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple canyons, including Kessler Canyon, Atterberry Canyon, and Lovercheck Canyon, each carrying the names of the families and individuals who settled and worked these Wyoming rangelands.
