1952 Map of Arminto

About this map

Arminto serves as the focal point for this Natrona County landscape, situated along the tracks of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. The map depicts a rugged high-plains environment defined by essential water management, featuring various ditches, pipe lines, and storage sites like Jackpot Reservoir and Garrison Reservoir. These features, alongside the Carlson Ranch, highlight the infrastructure required for livestock and human survival in an arid region. Local geography is shaped by drainage systems such as Alkali Creek and Garrison Draw. Significant local markers for genealogists and historians include a small Cem and a rail-side Water Tank near the settlement center. The transportation network is anchored by the Lost Cabin Arminto Road, reflecting the area's role as a transit point between isolated Wyoming ranches and the rail line.
