About this map

Lingshire sits at a critical junction where Rock Creek and Antelope Creek meet, centered near the passage through Buffalo Canyon. The geography here is defined by a network of drainage systems that have likely dictated movement through these hills for generations, evident in the placement of Lingshire Rd and Wagner Rd. The landscape is characterized by its numerous gulches and high points, such as Avalanche Butte in the southwest corner.

Water sources are vital markers on this terrain, with Ashford Spring and Crystal Spring providing fixed points of interest for those studying land use and historical grazing patterns. From the northern flow of Indian Creek to the southern reach of Beaver Creek, this survey documents a high-altitude environment where the naming of places like Moonshine Gulch, Calamity Gulch, and Rubison Gulch suggests a colorful history of local exploration or early settlement hardship.
