About this map

Farthing stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape of Laramie County, where ranching life and water management define the terrain. The drainage systems of Chugwater Cr and its tributaries, including Middle Chugwater Cr and S Chugwater Cr, carve through the region, supported by infrastructure like the Farthing Reservoir. To the north, the small settlement of Lambert is situated near the Jordon Number 1 Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water storage in this semi-arid environment.

Transportation is anchored by Horse Creek Rd, which follows the natural contours of the land past Road Canyon and Pine Top. The map reveals a network of county roads, such as Co RD 103 and Farthing Rd, that connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of Miller Cr and N Bear Cr through the surveyed townships of the Public Land Survey System, providing a clear view of the territorial divisions and land use patterns that have persisted for generations.
