About this map

The Laramie River meanders through a landscape defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure in this part of Albany County. This high-plains environment is punctuated by numerous bodies of water, including Twin Buttes Lake, Caldwell Lake, and Meeboer Lake. The mapping reveals the complex engineering of the region's water management system, showing how the Pioneer Canal and Lake Hattie Canal work alongside smaller channels like the Riverside Ditch Number 2 and Mansfield Ditch to distribute water across the basin.

Elevation changes are relatively subtle, marked by features such as Twelvemile Hill and the Twin Buttes area. For researchers of local land use, the map details many smaller reservoirs and ponds, including Harman Reservoir and Nelson Pond. The rural road network, with names like Big Hollow Rd and Meeboer Rd, provides a clear view of the ranching and agricultural access points that have shaped the development of this Wyoming landscape into the early 21st century.
