1990 Map of Red Cloud Creek West

About this map

The Fort Laramie Road traces a historic path through the eastern Wyoming landscape, serving as a primary north-south artery in this corner of Goshen County. This 1990s revision of the high plains terrain shows a region defined by seasonal watercourses and drainage patterns, where the winding Red Cloud Creek and Dry Rawhide Creek carve through the open range. The landscape is punctuated by the Pine Ridge escarpment, a prominent geologic feature that influences the local topography and the path of Pine Ridge Creek. Modern infrastructure is represented by a long-distance Pipeline cutting across the sections, contrasting with more traditional ranching landmarks like scattered Wells and a seasonal Spring. The map effectively documents the intersection of pioneer-era routes with late 20th-century utility and water management in a sparsely populated ranching district.
