1974 Map of Spoon Butte SW

About this map

Eagle Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape of eastern Goshen County, Wyoming. Mapped in the mid-1970s, the terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Sheep Creek flowing across the northern reaches and George Draw carving through the southeast. This survey captures a rural ranching environment where water sources and topography dictated the sparse footprint of human activity. The presence of several scattered Well sites across the township and range lines highlights the critical role of groundwater in this arid region. The map provides a clear view of the section lines and unimproved roads that connected this high country to the Nebraska border, located just five miles to the east.
