About this map

Sibley Peak and the surrounding high plains of Platte County define this landscape just south of Glendo. The terrain is marked by a complex system of drainages, including Middle Bear Creek and Horseshoe Cr, which feed into the Glendo Reservoir visible in the northeast corner. This 2017 survey shows a region where modern infrastructure like S Glendo Hwy and Lake Shore Dr meets long-established landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Horseshoe Cem situated near the intersection of S Horseshoe Creek Rd and the creek itself. Named topographic features such as Sommers Hill, Sommers Draw, and Anvil Peak suggest the area's early ranching history and family landholdings. Isolated water sources like Bear Spring, Willow Spring, and Box Springs highlight the importance of water management in this arid stretch of the Wyoming interior.
