About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this Wyoming landscape, where the Laramie River and Dry Laramie River meet a complex network of man-made irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate system of water distribution, including the Mullen Ditch, Number 2 Canal, and several laterals that sustain the high plains environment. Central to the area is the community of Westview Circle and the location of Hightower, situated near the confluence of Sybille Cr and the main river branch.

Evidence of ranching and early land claims persists in the naming of water bodies like Utter Reservoir and the uniquely named O Bar O Number 3 Reservoir. Large-scale water storage is further represented by the Wheatland Number 1 Reservoir and Festo Lake. This survey provides a precise look at the rural road grid, from Fletcher Park Rd to Palmer Canyon Rd, tracing the paths that connect these remote homesteads and reservoirs.
