About this map

Farthing and Lambert anchor this high-plains landscape in Laramie County, where a complex network of creeks and drainages defines the local geography. The terrain is marked by significant features like Road Canyon and the prominent elevation of Pine Top, illustrating the transition through the Wyoming ranching country. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Farthing Reservoir and the Jordon Number 1 Reservoir, which capture runoff from seasonal streams such as Threemile Cr and Chugwater Cr.

A network of county and local routes, including Horse Creek Rd and Farthing Rd, connects the scattered settlements and ranching outposts. The map documents the intricate path of Cottonwood Cr, Miller Cr, and Sand Cr, showing how these waterways navigate the undulating contours of the Laramie Range foothills. This survey provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure and natural landmarks that have sustained this part of Wyoming into the twenty-first century.
