About this map

Cheyenne expands southward toward the Wyoming Colorado border in this record of urban growth and geological transition. This area, updated with aerial data from the mid-1970s, shows the city's residential sprawl into Orchard Valley alongside industrial developments like the Sewage Disposal plant and Intermountain Speedway. The transportation network is anchored by the Union Pacific and Colorado and Southern railroads, which parallel major thoroughfares like West Jefferson Road and the Drag Strip.

South of the city, the landscape shifts toward open terrain marked by the Terry Anticline and Terry Peak. Small rural settlements and geographic markers like Athol, Gleason, and Porter Draw provide critical points of reference for genealogists and local historians. Educational and religious cornerstones, including Arp Sch, Cole Sch, and the Full Gospel Tab, serve as anchors for these emerging and established communities.
