About this map

The Platte River valley and its surrounding highlands define this Wyoming landscape, where industry and history converge. Guernsey serves as the primary hub, situated near the Camp Guernsey State Military Reservation and the Burlington Northern railroad lines. To the north, the mining heritage of the region is evident in the settlements of Sunrise and Hartville, which are linked by the Colo and Wyo railroad. This area was once a feverish center of iron mining, as evidenced by the Chicago Mine, the Good Fortune Mine, and numerous mine dumps scattered through the canyons.
