2012 Map of Careyhurst

About this map

Careyhurst and the neighboring Careyhurst Ranch anchor this 2012 survey of the North Platte river valley in Converse County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Platte River and its numerous tributaries, including Box Elder Creek and Little Box Elder Creek, which drain the southern highlands. Small track-side locations like Welch, Fletcher, and Carey mark the historical transit corridor through this portion of Wyoming. The map reveals a transition from these riparian ranch lands to the industrial and agricultural infrastructure accessed via routes such as Tank Farm Rd and Old Douglas Hwy. This modern topographical study captures the intersection of established cattle-ranching heritage and the evolving road network that serves the region's energy and transport needs.
