1990 Map of Spoon Butte NW

About this map

Prairie Center Cemetery sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in eastern Wyoming, a vital marker for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Goshen County. The terrain is defined by the intermittent flow of Sixmile Creek in the southwest and Sheep Creek to the southeast, illustrating the sparse water resources of the region. Numerous irrigation or livestock wells are scattered throughout the sections, reflecting the agricultural reliance on groundwater in a territory where permanent surface water is rare. The map captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like T 29 N T 28 N and range boundaries dividing the open rangeland into a distinct grid of sectioned blocks.
