1955 Map of Bosler SE

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Laramie Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Wyoming high country. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated peaks on the eastern edge to the gradually sloping basin floor. Water management and livestock survival are central to the local economy, evidenced by several scattered Windmill sites and a prominent Ditch cutting through the western sections. The drainage patterns of Wallrock Creek and Gates Creek dictate the movement across this terrain, while a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary points to the localized industrial activities of the period. This map was produced as part of a broader Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the area just as aerial photography was becoming the standard for precise topographic mapping.
