2012 Map of Glendo

About this map

Glendo Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Wyoming quadrangle, its intricate shoreline carving through the high plains of Platte County. The town of Glendo serves as the focal point in the southeast, situated near the western edge of Glendo State Park and the aviation facilities at Thomas Memorial Airport. The map documents a rugged terrain defined by significant geographic shifts, from the depths of River Canyon and Red Canyon to the essential water sources of Buffalo Springs, Upper State Spring, and Lower State Spring. Infrastructure is characterized by the long stretch of the Platte-Valley-Ditch Number-1 and a network of rural routes like Bona Rd and Elkhorn Creek Rd that connect isolated outposts like Bona and the Amend Ranch. The landscape reflects the critical intersection of water management, recreation, and ranching in the region.
