1951 Map of Casper

About this map

The industrial and civic heart of Casper is defined here by its relationship with the North Platte River and a massive infrastructure of petroleum storage and transportation. Extensive Oil Tank Farms and pipe lines dominate the northern landscape, reflecting the city’s mid-century role as a regional energy hub. Along the river's southern banks, the community's heritage is anchored by the Ft Casper Historical Grounds and the Izaak Walton Park, while the city’s upward expansion is visible in newer residential tracts like Thorndale Acres and Allendale near the base of the looming Casper Mountain.
