About this map

High plains ranching life in Goshen County is meticulously documented here, showing a landscape defined by water and wide-ranging livestock operations. Scattered homesteads such as the Newell Ranch and Emma Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved dirt tracks like Crescent Basin Road and the Fort Laramie Road. The presence of the Moore Spring School and a small Cem near the Fred Damrow Ranch points to a once-active rural community hub centered around the dependable water of Moore Spring. Numerous windmills dot the terrain between the Wildcat Hills and Spring Hills, signifying the critical importance of groundwater for the various operations, including the Vandra Ranch and Blevin Ranch, in this arid landscape.
