About this map

Spy Glass Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of northeast Wyoming, situated just north of the Crook County and Weston County border. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including the Belle Fourche River and Buffalo Creek. Rural access is maintained through a series of named ranch roads such as Rush Creek Rd, Warbonnet Rd, and Four Horse Rd, which navigate the complex topography of draws and coulees.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks like Johnson Draw, Bruce Draw, and Butler Draw, which provide clues to land use and settlement patterns in this high-plains environment. The map details the transition between the rolling hills and the creek beds of Rush Cr and Freda Cr, illustrating the relationship between the drainage systems and the remote homesteading routes of the region.
