1977 Map of Prairie Center

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Prairie Center sits within the high plains of eastern Wyoming, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by cattle ranching and sparse water resources. This 1970s survey captures the boundary between Niobrara Co and Goshen Co, a region where the vast, open terrain is punctuated primarily by essential infrastructure. Numerous sites marked simply as Well indicate the critical role of groundwater for agricultural survival in this semi-arid environment. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the settlement suggest local material extraction for road maintenance and regional construction. The map illustrates a classic western township and range system, with unimproved roads and section lines providing the primary framework for movement across the plains.
