2021 Map of Dwyer

About this map

Dwyer and Uva anchor this portion of Platte County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the critical movement of water. The N Laramie River and the larger Laramie River flow through the southern half of the quadrangle, supported by a network of agricultural infrastructure including the N Laramie Canal, the Uva Ditch, and Reservoir Number Three. This system of waterways suggests a long-standing reliance on irrigation to sustain life and ranching in this arid Wyoming environment. Local history is centered around the settlement at Dwyer, which includes the Dwyer Cem just south of the community center. The map also traces various country routes like Badger RD and Pepper RD, which connect the scattered homesteads across the townships of T25N and T26N.
