About this map

Hermosa and Dale Creek represent the primary points of human settlement in this Wyoming landscape, where the rail corridor cuts through high-elevation terrain. The presence of the Hermosa Tunnel underscores the engineering required to navigate the area's geography, while the Natural Ft provides a distinct landmark near the center of the sheet. Water management is evident through features like the Williams and Blunk Number 1 Reservoir and the drainage network of Harney Cr, Dale Cr, and Pump Cr.

Old transportation routes, including Old Wagon Rd and Pumpkin Vine Rd, crisscross the area, reflecting layers of travel history before more modern road classifications. The map details a transition from traditional land use to newer developments, seen in named paths like Hidden Hills Trl and various residential drives such as Aspen Dale Ln. Local genealogists and researchers can trace the intersection of ranching infrastructure and contemporary rural layout across this Albany County survey.
