1962 Map of Farthing

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Farthing (Iron Mountain PO) serves as the focal point for this high-plains landscape, where the Colorado and Southern railroad tracks follow the winding course of Sand Creek. The settlement pattern is defined by established family holdings like Whiting Ranch and McLees Ranch, illustrating the ranching-driven economy of Laramie County during the mid-20th century. The intricate drainage network of Chugwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Chugwater Cr and South Chugwater Creek, carves through the terrain near the prominent elevation of Pine Top. This 1962 topography, updated in the late 1970s, captures a transition in water management at the Farthing Reservoir and the essential rail connection that linked these remote ranching outposts to larger markets.
