2021 Map of Spoon Butte

About this map

Spoon Butte stands as a primary landmark along the high plains border where Wyoming and Nebraska meet. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching landscape defined by drainage patterns and section lines. The topography is carved by the intermittent waters of Sheep Cr and George Draw, which weave through the high tablelands. Remote access to these interior sections is maintained by local routes such as Henry Rd and Co Rd 47. The map serves as a precise record of the administrative boundary between Goshen Co in Wyoming and Sioux Co in Nebraska, showing how modern land management and township divisions continue to follow the rectilinear grid of the original public land surveys across this high-altitude terrain.
