About this map

Buford and Sherman anchor this section of Laramie County, representing high-altitude ranching and transportation history along the Interstate 80 corridor. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Lone Tree Cr, Duck Cr, and Deadman Cr, which carve through the high plains. Ranching heritage is prominently displayed through named holdings such as Davis Ranch, Table Mountain Ranch, and Remount Ranch, showing the distribution of land use in this sparsely populated region.

The topography is punctuated by the Twin Mountains and Twin Mountains Lake, providing clear landmarks for navigators and historians. Transportation routes like Klondike Rd, Dale Rd, and Pumpkin Vine Rd connect the scattered settlements and ranches, reflecting a network designed for rural access and livestock management. This survey provides a precise look at the area's modern infrastructure while preserving the names of the original homesteads and small communities like Harriman.
