About this map

Hirsig Ranch and several other family operations define the land use in this part of Laramie County during the mid-2010s. The landscape is dominated by a sophisticated water management system designed for livestock and agriculture, featuring numerous named catchments such as Hirsig Number 1 Reservoir, Hirsig Number 2 Reservoir, and the Hirsig Enlargement R P Allen Number 1 Reservoir. These structures are critical in an area where seasonal flows like Spring Cr and N Bear Cr provide the primary natural water sources.

Legacy ranching sites including the Delano Ranch, McDonald Ranch, and Dereemer Ranch are noted across the high plains terrain, connected by rural routes such as CR-237. The mapping of these specific holdings, alongside the settlement at Lambert, provides a clear view of how large-scale family land ownership has shaped the geographic identity of this region, maintaining a pattern of sparse but significant rural development.
