1962 Map of Farthing Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lodgepole Creek meanders through this high plains landscape in Laramie County, providing the lifeblood for isolated ranching operations during the early 1960s. The settlement of Farthing Ranch serves as a primary local landmark, situated north of the pipeline that traverses the terrain. This 1962 survey, which includes purple photorevisions from 1976, captures the sparse but functional infrastructure of the era, from a modest Gravel Pit to a working Corral. Of particular interest to surveyors and geographers is the Cheyenne East Base geodetic marker, while genealogists and local historians may find significance in the location of Wadill near the southern boundary. The map illustrates a transitional period in Wyoming's rural landscape, where traditional cattle ranching and modern utility corridors share the open range.
