1990 Map of Y B O Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Goshen Hole and the Iowa Center Flats define this pocket of Wyoming, where the dramatic break of the Y B O Rim separates high plateau from lower canyon systems. This 1990 revision shows a landscape of cattle ranching and seasonal water management, anchored by established spreads like Werner Ranch and Bogville Ranch. The topography is dominated by deeply incised drainages, including Y B O Canyon, Sawmill Canyon, and the curiously named Busty Canyon in the northwest. Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, with intermittent flows like Box Elder Creek and Josh Creek feeding into the canyons. Numerous wells and several springs are marked along the rim, highlighting the infrastructure necessary to support the isolated Smith Ranch and other operations in this sparsely populated region of Goshen County.
