1987 Map of Buford

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Union Pacific rail lines dominate this stretch of the high plains, charting a path through the southern Wyoming highlands where the Albany Co and Laramie Co border meets. The map documents several historically significant stops along the transcontinental route, including the high-elevation settlement of Sherman and the small outpost of Buford. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, most notably Lone Tree Creek in the north and the complex network of Dale Creek and its West Fork to the south. Local landmarks like the Twin Mountains and Mound Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Deadman Fork and Mason Allen Creek. This 1987 provisional survey also captures industrial markers such as a remote Prospect and several segments of a prominent Transmission Line, illustrating the continued utility of this corridor for national infrastructure and transportation.
