About this map

Arlington and several surrounding ranching properties sit at the base of the Laramie Mountains in this 2012 survey of Carbon County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses flowing toward the Laramie River basin, including Onemile Cr, Threemile Cr, and Elk Cr. Established ranching operations such as Brokaw Ranch, Old Fisher Ranch, and the White Ranch are scattered across the high plains, illustrating the continued agricultural character of this Wyoming high-country corridor.

Modern transportation infrastructure, including the Elk Mountain Arlington Rd, cuts through the terrain, while the heights of Rock Mountain and Deer Mountain provide natural landmarks to the south and west. Recreation is represented by the Rock Creek Picnic Ground, situated where the landscape transitions from the open plains to the more rugged mountainous terrain. This map captures the distribution of family-named ranch lands and the intricate drainage system of W Fork Dutton Cr and E Fork Dutton Cr at the start of the 21st century.
