1914 Map of Cheyenne

About this map

Cheyenne serves as a major western transportation hub in this early 20th-century survey, defined by the convergence of the Union Pacific, Colorado and Southern RR, and Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR. The map illustrates the town's growth as a railway center, situated just southeast of the expansive Fort D.A. Russell Military Reservation. To the north and east, the landscape is dotted with isolated settlements and livestock operations, such as Pole Creek Ranch and the J H D Ranch, reflecting the region's ranching economy.
