About this map

High plains ranching and the sharp relief of the Wyoming-Nebraska borderland define this 1960 landscape. Named ranching homesteads like Tremain Ranch, Johnson Ranch, and McClure Ranch are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the sparse but established settlement patterns of the era. The Union Pacific line cuts through the western portion of the sheet, providing a vital transportation artery for the region's agricultural economy.

The southern reaches are dominated by the deeply incised drainage of Stinking Water Creek and the notable topographic heights of Hull and Epworth. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Epworth Cem and the specific placement of family-named landmarks like Spahr Ranch and Bull Canyon Ranch. From the singular Ninemile Rock to the branching paths of Ninemile Canyon, the map documents a transition from open grazing land to the rugged breaks of the state line.
