1955 Map of Bosler SE

About this map

The Laramie Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain drops sharply toward the basin floor. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by its hydrology and livestock infrastructure, featuring the perennial flows of Wallrock Creek and Gates Creek. The drainage patterns here are essential for understanding the early 20th-century ranching economy, further evidenced by the numerous Windmill sites scattered across the plains to support water access in a semi-arid environment. An artificial Ditch in the northwest and a small Gravel Pit suggest the ongoing human modifications to the land for irrigation and road maintenance. The cartography reveals a sparsely populated area where the township and range lines of T. 19 N. T. 18 N. and R. 73 W. R. 72 W. provide the primary structural framework for land ownership and movement through the territory.
