1953 Map of Hightower SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Laramie River and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this Platte County landscape during the mid-20th century. Highlighting the intersection of ranching and early infrastructure, the map details the Cramer Ditch and Mertz Ditch systems, which provided essential water management for the arid terrain. Settlement patterns are visible through the location of the Wedemeyer School and Slate Creek Sch, both noted as abandoned by the time of the 1953 field check, suggesting a shift in the local rural population.
