1978 Map of Rawhide Buttes West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Rawhide Buttes dominate the eastern edge of this landscape, where the boundary between Niobrara and Goshen counties cuts through the high plains of eastern Wyoming. This late-1970s topographic record details a region of specialized mining and ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Michigan Mine, Omaha Mine, and Copperbelt Mine. Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, with numerous vital points such as Muskrat Spring, Twin Springs, and Toms Well sustaining local operations. The map traces the winding paths of Rawhide Creek and Muskrat Creek through a series of deeply cut draws and canyons like Little Wildcat Canyon and Deadman Canyon. Named for local settlers and landmarks, features like Hobbs and the Silver Springs Road provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the rural development of the Wildcat Hills area.
