1963 Map of Klutz Canyon

About this map

Slater Flats and the high plains of southeastern Wyoming define this 1960s landscape along the Platte and Goshen county line. The map reveals a remote ranching environment where life centered on scattered springs and small community landmarks. Near the southern edge, the Town Center Flats Ch and an adjacent Cem serve as primary points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is marked by dramatic shifts in elevation, particularly where the Rim drops into Goshen Hole. This depression is carved by a series of drainages, including Klutz Canyon, Busty Canyon, and Box Elder Canyon. A notable man-made feature is the Windcharger located on Chugwater Flats, reflecting the era's reliance on wind power for rural electrification and water pumping across these broad, windswept tablelands.
