1963 Map of Archer

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The settlement of Archer and the agricultural lands of the Wyoming Hereford Ranch anchor this landscape just east of Cheyenne during the early 1960s. The region is defined by a network of water management features, including the Bolln Ditch and Stewart Ditch which draw from Crow Creek. The industrial and transportation corridor of the Union Pacific Railroad cuts through the territory, running parallel to an Old Grade and modern thoroughfares like Dell Blvd and Pershing Blvd. Educational and civic development is evident at the Dildine Sch and the Univ of Wyoming Experimental Station. Notable land use includes the Cheyenne Memorial Gardens and several Gravel Pits, reflecting the area's growth and infrastructure needs. Purple overprints added in the late 1970s illustrate the expansion of urban areas and new pipeline routes, marking the transition from a purely rural ranching environment to a more developed suburban fringe.
