1961 Map of Cheyenne South

About this map

The sprawling rail and radio infrastructure of the southern edge of Cheyenne dominates this survey, where the Union Pacific and Colorado and Southern lines converge. The landscape is a mix of urban expansion into Orchard Valley and the open range of the Terry Anticline to the south. Distinctive mid-century features like the Intermountain Speedway, a Drive-in Theater, and a cluster of broadcast sites including Radio Tower (KVWO) and Radio Tower (KCHY) illustrate the city's growth along the major transport corridors. Further south, the map transitions into cattle country and small camps near the state line, such as Athol and State Line Camp. The inclusion of specific rural institutions like Rossman Sch and Goeins Sch provides a precise record of the educational landscape before widespread consolidation changed the character of Laramie County.
