2015 Map of Klutz Canyon

About this map

Goshen Hole Rim defines the eastern transition of this high-plains landscape, where the flat upland plateaus drop into a complex network of erosional breaks. The terrain is split between the expansive Iowa Center Flats and Chugwater Flats, separated by the winding course of Box Elder Cr. This drainage system has carved deep into the sedimentary layers, creating named features like Klutz Canyon, Busty Canyon, and Cedar Canyon. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid, where roads like Winberg Rd and Slater Rd follow section lines across the open Wyoming country. The boundary between Platte and Goshen Counties runs north-south through the center of these canyons, illustrating how physical geography often dictates political divisions in the western range.
