About this map

Sibley Peak and Anvil Peak dominate the topography of this Platte County landscape just south of the town of Glendo. The area is defined by the complex drainage system of Horseshoe Cr and its tributaries, including Spring Cr and Whiskey Gulch, which flow toward the eastern reaches of the Glendo Reservoir. For local historians and genealogists, the Horseshoe Cem remains a significant landmark near the center of the survey.

Evidence of ranching and land use appears through family-named features like Sommers Hill and Sommers Draw, while the presence of several water sources such as Box Springs, Bear Spring, and Willow Spring highlights the importance of reliable water in this arid Wyoming environment. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the deep cut of Bobcat Canyon and the winding paths of N Bear Cr and Middle Bear Cr, illustrating the transition from open range to more broken terrain.
