1990 Map of Klutz Canyon

About this map

Slater Flats and the high tablelands of southeastern Wyoming dominate this 1990s landscape, where the plateau is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Klutz Canyon and Box Elder Canyon. This topographical study reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment defined by wide expanses like Chugwater Flats and Center Flats. Human presence is concentrated near Eastwood and a solitary Cem in the southwest, suggesting the persistence of small rural hubs amidst the vast open range. The transition between the Platte and Goshen County line is marked by dramatic terrain shifts, particularly where Rusty Canyon and Cedar Canyon converge near the geological feature simply labeled Hole. The abundance of identified Springs and wells throughout these canyons indicates the critical importance of water management in this high-plains environment.
