2012 Map of McCompsey Pass

About this map

Sixtysix Mountain and McCompsey Pass dominate this high-plains landscape along the Wyoming and Nebraska border. This 2012 survey documents a terrain defined by its water sources and sharp relief, where named springs like Huntington Springs, Bull Pasture Spring, and State Line Springs provide essential hydration points in an otherwise arid environment. The naming of landmarks like Devils Armchair, The Culp, and Double Hump suggests a long history of local navigation and land-marking by residents and travelers passing through the breaks. The network of canyons and draws, including Driscoll Canyon and McCompsey Canyon, illustrates the complex drainage patterns feeding into the surrounding flats. This map serves as a precise record of the rural road network, from Road 28 to the various county roads that stitch together these remote rangelands.
