2014 Map of Roubadeau Pass

About this map

Hubbard Corner sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, where the flat irrigated fields of the Platte Valley meet the rising Escarpment. The complex engineering of the American West is visible here through the Gering and Fort Laramie Irrigation Tunnel and the winding Fort Laramie Canal, which trace the contours of the terrain to provide water for local agriculture. To the south, the topography shifts dramatically into the Wildcat Hills, a series of ridges and canyons defined by notable crossings like Roubadeau Pass and Rifle Sight Pass. This area, managed through an intricate system of reservoirs including Fanning Reservoir and Ouderkirk Reservoir, illustrates the intersection of natural geologic formations and human infrastructure. Names like Spook Canyon and Saddle Gap highlight the local character of these distinct landforms, while Cedar Valley and Carter Canyon provide sheltered breaks in the rugged upland terrain.
