About this map

Harmony serves as a small focal point in this high-plains landscape, where the management of water defines the character of the terrain. The area is characterized by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure designed to divert the Laramie River, including the Lake Hattie Canal, Bush and Holliday Ditch, and Riverside Ditch Number 1. These systems feed a series of natural basins and man-made impoundments such as Caldwell Lake, Twin Buttes Lake, and Meeboer Lake.

Rising above the plains, Twelvemile Hill provides a distinct topographical landmark near Twelvemile Lake and Lake Mildred. The map reveals a complex web of rural ranch roads, such as Twin Buttes Rd and Big Hollow Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and water resources. This intricate plumbing of the arid West highlights the historical transition from open range to a landscape meticulously carved by water rights and agricultural engineering.
