1953 Map of Hightower

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Sybille Creek winds through this Platte County landscape, meeting the Laramie River in a region defined by early mid-century water management and ranching infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation, including the Colorado and Southern Canal, Mule Shoe Drain, and Iowa Lateral, all supporting the agricultural life around Wilson. Social and civic foundations of the era are visible at the Mountain View Community Hall and the already noted Wilkinson School (Aband). Local operations range from the State Game Farm to the small settlement at Hightower. The topography is marked by numerous windmills and cattle-related features, illustrating the transition from the high plains into the breaks of Palmer Canyon. This survey captures the rural character of Wyoming just as it was being integrated into the broader Missouri River Basin development program.
