Area 39 covers the country east of Wheatland on Wyoming's high plains—rolling sage and grass prairie, dryland wheat and irrigated ag along the North Platte and Laramie River corridors, and creek bottoms cutting through. Elevations run from about 4,300 to 5,500 feet. The country is mostly open, with the North Platte River cottonwoods running thick near Guernsey and Glendo, irrigated alfalfa and corn on the better-watered flats, and rolling dryland sage prairie filling the rest. Eroded breaks along the river and creek margins provide cover and sight lines. The Glendo Reservoir and Guernsey State Park anchor the recreational landscape, and the country sits in the heart of the Oregon Trail corridor—Register Cliff and Guernsey Ruts are within the unit. Mostly private ranch and farm ground with scatters of BLM and state, plus the recreation land around the reservoirs (regulated). The Walk-In and HMA access programs are essential—without them the public-land options are limited. I-25 and US-26 frame the country; county roads thread the rest. Wheatland is the supply town with gas, hotels, the Pizza Hut and a real grocery; Guernsey and Glendo have basics. Cell service is fair on I-25. Antelope rifle in October is the headline; the open prairie and ag corners hold strong pronghorn numbers. Mule deer use the creek breaks and river bottoms. Whitetail concentrate in the cottonwoods along the North Platte. Wind blows steady—it's the southern Wyoming wind machine in full effect.
