Beaver Creek Ranch Headquarters
About this property
The Beaver Creek Ranch Headquarters , in the vicinity of Buffalo in the Powder River Basin in Johnson County, Wyoming, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The ranch has been known as Schoonover Ranch , as Harriet Ranch , and as Iberlin Ranch . The ranch headquarters was then vacant, not in use, and the listing included 10.3 acres (4.2 ha) with eight contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and two non-contributing structures. Per the NRHP registration, the ranch was deemed notable as a rare and well-preserved example of a twentieth-century western sheep ranching operation in Wyoming as it evolved in the Powder River Basin. The ranch represents traditional Spanish sheep management practices that developed in Wyoming, rather than the English system utilized in the early Atlantic colonies.
