2021 Map of Prairie Center

About this map

Prairie Center serves as the primary landmark in this rural expanse along the high plains of eastern Wyoming. Situated near the southern edge of the map, the small settlement anchors a network of section-line roads that define the region's agricultural layout, including Rd 18 and Rd 51. The landscape is characterized by the gentle drainage of Nichols Canyon in the north and the prominent east-west boundary between Niobrara County and Goshen County. The mapping of townships such as t30n r61w reveals the systematic Public Land Survey System grid that organized this corner of the state for ranching and homesteading. Travelers and local researchers can trace the connectivity provided by Co Rd 6 along the northern county line and McMaster Rd, which cuts through the northern sections towards the canyon breaks.
