About this map

Wano township defines this agricultural landscape along the state border, where the High Plains are dissected by a series of deep drainage channels. Waterways like Hackberry Creek and the long incisions of McCann Canyon and Sand Canyon reveal a terrain shaped by erosion, contrasted with the precise lines of a modern pipeline and local section roads. This 1978 survey highlights the enduring markers of the homesteading era, including the Hope Valley Cem and Emanuel Cem, which serve as primary anchors for genealogical research in this corner of the state. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the network of fence and field lines noted by the USGS provide a clear view of the land's utility in the late 1970s, as ranching and farming operations navigated the steep breaks of Carroll Canyon and Devils Canyon.
