2017 Map of Albin SW

About this map

Chivington Draw and Antelope Draw carve subtle paths across this corner of Laramie County, defining the drainage patterns of an otherwise open High Plains landscape. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like Co Rd 155 and Co Rd 160 follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. This intersection of natural topography and human geometry illustrates the late-era development of Wyoming's rural infrastructure, where watercourses still dictate the placement of local crossings despite the dominance of the township grid. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for modern county roads and the ephemeral water features that have influenced land use in the region for generations.
