About this map

Seely Ranch and Hegge Ranch anchor the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, where the waters of Redwater Cr and Sundance Cr dictate the layout of rural homesteads. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, including the Riflepit Divide and the deep cut of the Grand Canyon near the Miller Ranch. This modern survey illustrates how modern road networks like the Grand Canyon Rd and Rifle Pit Rd follow the natural contours of the land, connecting family-named landmarks such as the Bush Ranch and Lincoln Ranch.

Southward, the drainage of Red Canyon Cr and Poison Cr reveals a network of springs and gulches, from Cranberry Spring to Knapp Spring. The map provides a precise record of late-period land use, where high-elevation features like Williams Divide overlook a series of specialized forest service and county routes like Moskee Rd and Harve Lincoln Rd, essential for navigating this ranching and watershed district.
