About this map

The town of Lusk serves as the focal point of this eastern Wyoming landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The settlement is well-developed with essential community infrastructure, including a High Sch, Hospital, and a Cemetery located north of the main residential grid. Economic activity of the early 1980s is evidenced by a Refinery and Sewage Disposal facility near the Niobrara River, alongside a Fairground and Golf Course that mark the town's social perimeter.

To the north, the terrain shifts dramatically into the Hat Creek Breaks, where Sullivan Ridge and Chip Creek carve through the high plains. This area is characterized by a network of intermittent waterways like Duck Creek and Bergreen Creek, interspersed with agricultural markers such as Twentyeight Road and Kirtley Road. The presence of a Municipal Airport with an Airway Beacon and a scattered Pipeline network underscores the region's role as a transit and resource corridor.
