1955 Map of Bosler

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Laramie River meanders sharply through this high plains landscape, defining the character of the settlement at Bosler during the mid-20th century. The town and nearby Bosler Junction sit as critical waypoints along the Union Pacific railroad, which cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain. This survey, updated with 1979 aerial photography, highlights a complex water management system essential to the high-altitude ranching economy. A network of man-made waterways, including the Boughton Canal, Oasis Ditch, and James Lake North Canal, feeds into local reservoirs like Diamond Lake. The presence of an Abandoned Canal suggests shifts in irrigation and land use over time, while the Diamond Ranch signifies the enduring presence of large-scale cattle operations in Albany County.
