About this map

La Grange serves as the primary settlement in this corner of Goshen County, characterized by its grid of streets such as Railroad St and Kilty Ln. The landscape is defined by the management of water in an arid environment, most notably at the Hawk Springs Reservoir, which collects flow from Horse Cr. This reliance on water resources is further evidenced by the Wycross Ditch, which supports operations at the Wycross Ranch and the nearby locality of Wycross.

Tracing the drainages of Bear Cr and Dry Cr reveals a terrain carved by seasonal flows, including numerous canyons and draws like Nichols Canyon and Boxelder Spring Draw. Genealogists will find the La Grange Cem situated east of the main town site, while landmarks such as The Point and Three Tubs provide specific reference points for those studying the local topography and land use patterns of the early twenty-first century.
