1952 Map of Arminto SW

About this map

Neff Ranch and O'Donnel Ranch anchor this landscape in Central Wyoming during the early 1950s, a region defined by high-altitude grazing and sparse, resilient settlements. The presence of several Sheep Corrals and scattered Windmills underscores the dominance of livestock ranching in this portion of Natrona County. Educational and social centers appear in transition on this survey, which captures both active and inactive sites like the Divide School and the Poison Creek School (Aband). Water remains the most critical resource for the area, with the drainage of Poison Creek cutting through the northern reaches. The designation of the Osborne Place (Aband) provides a specific data point for genealogists and local historians tracking the movement of early homesteading families as ranching operations consolidated or moved during the mid-century.
