About this map

The Shawnee settlement stands as a quiet outpost in Converse County, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of Shawnee Cr and Lost Cr. This 2012 landscape is defined by its agricultural legacy, clearly marked by numerous family-named landmarks including the Pickinpaugh Homestead, Worthington Homestead, and Nelson Homestead. These labels offer a rare level of genealogical detail for a modern topographic map, anchoring the geographic coordinates to specific family history.

South of the main road networks, the terrain descends toward the northern reaches of the Glendo Reservoir. The geography is broken by distinct landforms such as Bobcat Hill, the White Hills, and the uniquely named Deadmans Corner. Regional transit is facilitated by routes like Reese RD and Pickinpaugh RD, which connect the scattered homesteads to the rail-aligned community of Shawnee, reflecting the long-standing ranching and transportation patterns of this Wyoming corridor.
