2012 Map of Archer

About this map

The University of Wyoming Experimental Station and the agricultural landscape of eastern Laramie County define this region on the outskirts of Cheyenne. The map reveals a transition from traditional ranching and irrigation, evidenced by the Bolln Ditch and Stewart Ditch, to modern suburban development. While the small settlement of Archer and the Sloan Airport mark specific hubs of activity, much of the area is subdivided by an extensive network of roads with names like Chief Twomoon Rd and Crystal Mountain Rd. Water management remains a critical feature of the terrain, as seen at the Wyoming Hereford Reservoir Number 2 along Crow Cr. This map documents the early 21st-century footprint of Laramie County's growth, balancing institutional research, aviation, and burial grounds like Cheyenne Memorial Gardens against the natural drainage of Dry Cr.
