1958 Map of Cheyenne

About this map

Cheyenne sits as a bustling railroad and military hub in the late 1950s, anchored by the sprawling Francis E Warren Air Force Base and the Union Pacific rail lines that cross the high plains. This survey captures the transition from the urban center of the state capital to the high-elevation wilderness of the Medicine Bow National Forest and the Pole Mountain Military Reservation. The landscape is a mix of strategic installations and extensive water management, visible in the numerous reservoirs like Wheatland Reservoir No 2 and Lake Hattie Reservoir.
