About this map

Hanna serves as the focal point of this Carbon County landscape, deeply influenced by the industrial infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad. The map documents a town shaped by coal extraction, featuring a Tipple and the Energy Development Co Spur branching toward northern operations. A poignant Mine Disaster Memorial and the local Cemetery sit just outside the main settlement, reflecting the human history tied to the area's mines.

South of the modern corridor, the terrain transitions into the Sand Hills and Dana Meadows, where an Old Railroad Grade traces a former route through the hills near Old Percy. This secondary settlement, along with numerous water sources like Kinney Reservoir and Saint Marys Creek, illustrates the balance between industrial rail transport and the ranching requirements of the Wyoming high country during the early 1970s.
