1962 Map of Farthing

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Farthing (Iron Mountain PO) serves as the central hub of this Laramie County landscape, where the Colorado and Southern railroad cuts a north-south path through the high plains. The area is defined by a network of established family operations, including the Farthing Ranch, Whiting Ranch, and Brownell Ranch, illustrating the importance of livestock and land ownership in this region during the early 1960s. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the Farthing Reservoir and the winding courses of Chugwater Creek and Sand Creek. The terrain rises to landmarks like Pine Top, while the rail line connects smaller sidings or stops such as Lambert. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the Wyoming ranching economy just as modern photogrammetric mapping was beginning to provide a more precise view of the drainage patterns and property boundaries that shaped local life.
