2015 Map of McCompsey Pass

About this map

McCompsey Pass anchors this high-plains landscape along the border of Nebraska and Wyoming, marking a significant topographical transition in the Wildcat Hills region. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent high points and erosional features, including the distinctively named Devils Armchair, Sixtysix Mtn, and Double Hump. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, evidenced by several named seeps such as Bull Pasture Spring, Huntington Springs, and State Line Springs. These points often dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of early ranching infrastructure.
