About this map

Big Rawhide Butte and the surrounding Rawhide Buttes dominate this high plains landscape on the border of Goshen and Niobrara counties. The terrain is defined by a network of intermittent drainage systems and ephemeral draws, including Rawhide Cr and Sand Draw. Local ranching activity is evidenced by several named access roads like Harris Ranch Rd, providing a sense of the modern land use in this sparsely populated region.

Water sources are scarce but significant, with Wolf Spring located in the northwest and various seasonal creeks such as J M Cr and Negro-Baby Cr carving through the breaks. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines that still dictate property boundaries and road placement in this part of Wyoming, where geography is primarily shaped by the volcanic and sedimentary features of the buttes.
