1945 Map of Fort Hill

About this map

Miller Mountain dominates the northwestern corner of this Wyoming landscape, providing a high-elevation backdrop for the network of creeks and irrigation projects that sustained early ranching. Recorded in 1945, the map reveals a rugged western terrain where water management was essential, evidenced by the Howard Canal and numerous ditches flanking La Barge Creek and Fontenelle Creek. These waterways were the lifelines for established family operations, including the Facenelli Ranch, Herschler Ranch, and Jamison Ranch.
