About this map

Wildcat Mountain and the high ridges of the Wildcat Hills dominate this western Nebraska landscape, where the high plains meet sharp escarpments. The area's agricultural and industrial infrastructure is defined by water management and energy extraction, featuring a series of catchments including Gering Valley Dam A through Gering Valley Dam D, and the extensive Fort Laramie Canal which snakes across the northern sections.

Evidence of the region's diverse utility appears at the Henderson Oil Field and the Wildcat Hills Camping Area, showing a land used for both production and recreation. Distinctive geological landmarks like Hogback Mountain and Funnel Rock provide clear navigational points above the meandering path of Pumpkin Creek. The presence of Old Stage Hl hints at earlier transportation corridors that once traversed these canyons.
