1974 Map of Spoon Butte SW

About this map

George Draw cuts a significant path through this high plains landscape of Goshen County, Wyoming. Based on aerial photography from the early 1970s and verified in the early 1990s, the map reveals a sparsely settled terrain defined by drainage patterns and intermittent water sources. In the northeast corner, Sheep Creek provides a rare perennial feature in an otherwise arid expanse. The presence of several scattered wells suggests a reliance on groundwater for the ranching and agricultural operations that define the area. The surveyor's notes indicate that while physical features remain constant, the human footprint here was minimal, with no major cultural changes recorded between the initial 1974 field check and the 1993 revision.
