1977 Map of Red Cloud Creek East

About this map

Rawhide Creek and its tributary, Dry Rawhide Creek, wind through this section of the High Plains, illustrating the drainage patterns that defined ranching and land use in Eastern Wyoming during the 1970s. The landscape is characterized by intermittent watercourses and the prominent rise of Red Cloud, which serves as a significant geographic landmark in this high-altitude terrain. The presence of several wells scattered across the township lines indicates the critical role of groundwater management for the livestock operations and homesteads situated in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and topography between Sixmile Creek and the surrounding draws, offering a clear record of the rural infrastructure and natural boundaries in Goshen County.
