1990 Map of Spoon Butte

About this map

Spoon Butte dominates the center of this high plains landscape, straddling the state line where Wyoming and Nebraska meet. This 1990s survey illustrates a rugged topography defined by drainage patterns and sharp elevation changes along the border of Goshen and Sioux counties. Water sources are vital features in this arid environment, marked by the winding path of Sheep Creek and the presence of a lone Spring south of the butte. The southern portion of the map transitions into the broader depression of George Draw, showing the characteristic erosion of the tableland. This map provides a detailed look at the interstate boundary and the natural landmarks that guided early movement through this open range territory.
