2012 Map of Dodge Ranch

About this map

The Laramie River winds through this section of Albany County, defining a landscape of high-plains ranching and water management. Large-scale irrigation and cattle operations are evident through named properties such as Dodge Ranch, Kennedy Ranch, and Palmer Ranch, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Palmer Canyon Rd and Tunnel Rd. The presence of the South Side Ditch and the expansive Wheatland Reservoir Number 2 highlights the critical role of water infrastructure in sustaining this environment. Terrain features like Bull Camp Peak and Long Canyon provide natural landmarks in a region where the topography is shaped by both the river valley and the foothills. This 2012 survey captures the modern configuration of these historic ranching lands, illustrating how natural watercourses like Dodge Cr and Duck Cr are supplemented by man-made catchments like Glade Number 2 Reservoir.
