1896 Map of Patrick

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Rawhide Creek and the North Platte River converge in a landscape defined by 19th-century ranching and frontier post offices before the widespread development of modern irrigation systems. This 1895 survey reveals a sparse network of early homesteads and cattle operations, including Nolan's Ranch and Hauphoff's Ranch, scattered across the plains of what would become Goshen County. The presence of Rock Ranch and Spring Ranch along the river bottom indicates the importance of reliable water sources for early settlers in the Goshen Hole depression. Further north, the namesake settlement of Patrick sits at the junction of several drainage routes, while the Wyoming-Nebraska boundary line bisects the high ground near Spoon Butte. This record captures the transition from open range to the first structured townships like Torrington and Pratt.
