2017 Map of Red Cloud Creek West

About this map

Oregon Trl cuts across the center of this Wyoming landscape, marking a historic corridor of western expansion through northern Goshen County. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Pine Ridge, which serves as a topographic anchor in the southeastern section, overseeing the seasonal drainage systems of Pine Ridge Cr and Willy Draw. Agricultural and ranching interests are evident in the management of local water resources, notably at the Skinner Reservoir and along the winding courses of Red Cloud Cr and Dry Rawhide Cr. The modern road network, including names like Buffalo Blvd and Cowboy Way, overlays an older geography of draws and canyons, such as Dickerson Draw and Spring Canyon. This 2017 survey illustrates how legacy trails and natural landmarks continue to shape the rural development of the High Plains.
