2012 Map of Schuster Flats

About this map

Fifteenmile Cr and its various forks define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Washakie County. The map shows a region shaped by ranching and energy infrastructure, evidenced by the Murdoch Cabin near the eastern edge and the prominent Platte Pipeline Rd traversing the terrain. The expansive Schuster Flats occupies much of the southeastern quadrant, while significant landmarks like Red Hill provide vertical relief in an otherwise sweeping landscape of draws and creeks. At the southern border, the Holland Ditch suggests the vital role of water management and irrigation in this arid environment. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey serves as a detailed record of local access routes like 15 Mile Rd and 10 Mile Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and industrial sites across the basin.
