About this map

The high plains of the Wyoming-Nebraska border converge in this study of a remote ranching landscape. Centered near the settlement of Tremain, the map tracks the subtle drainage patterns of Stinking Water Creek and Craton Draw as they wind through the high prairie. The intersection of Goshen and Laramie Counties meets the state line here, creating a surveyor’s puzzle of jurisdictional boundaries that define local land ownership and history.

Elevated landmarks like Ninemile Rock and Ninemile Hill rise above the surrounding canyons, including the narrow cuts of Wyoming Canyon and Ninemile Canyon. For those researching local family history, the Epworth Cemetery serves as a vital anchor on the landscape, situated near County Road 18. The network of section lines and gravel routes, such as County Road 6 and Road 63, outlines the transition from the rugged breaks of Bull Canyon to the open rangeland characteristic of this border region.
