2012 Map of Federal

About this map

Lodgepole Cr meanders across this high plains landscape of Laramie County, defining a region where water management and ranching are central to the local economy. In the early 21st century, the area around the settlement of Federal shows a transition toward organized rural residential life, with street names like Mountain Shadow Dr and Shadow Ridge Dr suggesting modern development. The reliance on irrigation in this arid environment is evidenced by the systematic engineering of Chadwick Ditch Number 1 and Chadwick Ditch Number 5, which feed into Chadwick Reservoir Number 1. Historical land use is anchored by established cattle operations such as Islay Ranch and King Merritt Ranch, while Thiel Field provides a local aviation point near the southern edge of the survey.
