About this map

Spotted Horse sits at the center of this drainage-carved landscape in Campbell County, where the high plains are etched by numerous dry draws and seasonal watercourses. The settlement is positioned along the primary east-west corridor of 14 16, a route that traverses the Chicken Creek Divide as it cuts across the northern Wyoming terrain. The name of the town is shared with Spotted Horse Cr, which snakes through the western portion of the map alongside Linn Draw and Rucker Draw.

The landscape's hydraulic history and ranching foundations are evident in the naming of local landmarks like Endgate Reservoir and Washout Draw. The map identifies various family or era-named features including New Deal Draw, Sorenson Draw, and Homestead Draw, which provide clues for genealogists and local historians tracing land use in this part of the state. Other watercourses such as Rose Cr, L-X Bar Cr, and the appropriately named Dry Gulch define the topography between the rolling hills and ridgelines.
