2017 Map of Spoon Butte

About this map

Spoon Butte rises as a prominent landform along the high plains where the border between Wyoming and Nebraska is defined by a straight surveyed line. This landscape, characterized by the seasonal flow of Sheep Cr and the topographical depression of George Draw, reflects the late 20th and early 21st-century agricultural and ranching patterns of the region. The map captures the sparse infrastructure of the area, where gravel and dirt routes like Henry Rd and Co Rd 47 provide the primary means of traversal across the sectioned townships. The grid system is clearly established, marking the boundary between Goshen County, Wyoming, and Sioux County, Nebraska, and illustrating how land division shaped the settlement of these western reaches.
