2021 Map of Duroc

About this map

Duroc serves as the central point of reference in this southeastern Wyoming landscape, where an intricate system of water management dominates the rural geography. The reliance on irrigation for agriculture is evident through the engineered paths of the Fort Laramie Canal and the Hawk Springs Ditch, which cut across the high plains. Natural drainage features like Horse Cr and Dry Cr are augmented by human-made infrastructure, including McMillen Reservoir Number 3 and McMillan Reservoir. The map illustrates a strictly partitioned territory defined by a grid of county roads such as Co RD 44 and Co RD 49, which facilitate movement between scattered homesteads and water resources. Local depressions and natural erosion are documented in the contours of Dry Draw and Seth Smith Draw, highlighting the subtle but significant changes in elevation that characterize this part of Goshen County.
