1950 Map of Casebier Hill

About this map

Old Government Farm (Historic) sits in the northern reaches of this Wyoming landscape, serving as a reminder of early agricultural efforts near the North Platte River. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainages, including Cottonwood Draw, Britain Draw, and Molly Fork, which cut through the high plains toward the south. Ranching life is evident through landmarks like Meyers Ranch and several windmills scattered across the high ground between Crescent Basin and the prominent Casebier Hill. These features, mapped during the mid-century Missouri River Basin development program, illustrate a land managed for grazing and water access. The western edge is dominated by the elevations of Garnet Hill, while established thoroughfares like Fort Laramie Road and Ridge Road provided essential connectivity through this cattle country.
