Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated where the terrain transitions from the foothills of Battle Mtn. and Gypsum Butte toward the prairie floor. The development of the region is defined by the route of the Fremont Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad, which links the settlements of Buffalo Gap, Smithwick, and Oelrichs. This rail corridor follows the natural drainage of the Cheyenne River and its tributaries, providing the vital transportation link for local industry, including the Elm Creek Quarry and Evans Quarry.
