About this map

Prairie Center Cem sits as a quiet landmark in this corner of the High Plains, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this rural portion of Goshen County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Sixmile Cr and Sheep Cr, which carve subtle paths through the township sections. This area, surveyed for the National Topographic Map Series, illustrates a sparse settlement pattern dominated by a strict grid of county roads. Long stretches of Van Tassell Rd and Co Rd 17 navigate the open terrain, connecting isolated ranching operations. The mapping of these section lines and local transit routes like Co Rd 22 offers a clear view of how land division and water access have influenced the development of the Wyoming prairie.
