1977 Map of Spoon Butte NW

About this map

Prairie Center Cem sits as a solitary point of local history in this remote stretch of Goshen County, recorded during a 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Sixmile Creek and Sheep Creek, which cut across the high plains of eastern Wyoming. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure of the era, where scattered livestock wells and an extensive network of fence lines highlight the ranching economy of the region. The surveyors' focus on these boundaries and water sources illustrates the essential components of life and land management in this portion of the western prairies before the minor revisions of the early 1990s.
