1960 Map of Duroc

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Duroc marks the center of this Wyoming high plains landscape, surveyed in the late 1950s as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The region is defined by its sophisticated irrigation and water management infrastructure, most notably the Fort Laramie Canal and the smaller Ditch systems that divert water across the plains. Large natural and man-made water features like Horse Creek, Mc Millan Reservoir, and Little Willow Res punctuate the arid terrain. Transportation and logistics are anchored by the Union Pacific railroad, which cuts through the southwestern corner of the sheet, providing a critical link for the agricultural and ranching operations that relied on these water sources. The map also traces a network of unnamed pipelines and scattered Well sites, illustrating the industrial expansion into the eastern Goshen County landscape.
