2018 Map of Dwyer

About this map

The small settlement of Dwyer serves as the focal point of this high plains landscape in Platte County, where the high desert meets the irrigated valleys of the Laramie River system. The northern part of the map is anchored by the community and the nearby Dwyer Cem, reflecting the early 20th-century ranching roots of the region. Water management is the defining human footprint here, evidenced by the presence of Reservoir Number Three and the engineered flow of the Uva Ditch to the south. These features, along with the N Laramie River and Fish Creek, illustrate the vital role of riparian corridors in Wyoming's agricultural economy. The road network, including E El Rancho Rd and N Dwyer Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, a testament to the structured settlement patterns of the American West.
