1953 Map of Hightower SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Laramie River and North Laramie River dominate the landscape of Platte County in the early 1950s, winding through a terrain defined by high ridges and deep draws. Traces of early 20th-century rural life are evident in the presence of discontinued community landmarks, specifically the Wedemeyer School and Slate Creek School, both noted as abandoned by the time of this 1953 survey. The western edge of the map is anchored by the Medicine Bow National Forest, where the topography shifts toward more significant elevations and canyon formations.
