About this map

Sibley Peak and Anvil Peak dominate the skyline of this Wyoming landscape, where the High Plains meet the managed waters of the North Platte river system. The presence of Horseshoe Cem near S Horseshoe Creek Rd offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this corner of Platte County. The drainage network is complex, featuring Horseshoe Cr, Spring Cr, and Middle Bear Cr, which define the ranching and agricultural potential of the region.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by Downey Reservoir Number 1 and the western edge of Glendo Reservoir. These landmarks, alongside smaller features like Box Springs and Whiskey Gulch, illustrate how water sources dictated land use and travel. This 2012 survey captures the modern road network, including Horseshoe Creek Rd and Glendo Park Rd, cutting through the breaks and draws that characterize this high-elevation terrain.
