2021 Map of Hirsig Ranch

About this map

Hirsig Ranch and the small settlement at Lambert anchor this high-plains landscape in Laramie County, where water management is the primary driver of development. The complex network of creeks and man-made impoundments, including the Hirsig Number 1 Reservoir and the uniquely named Hirsig Enlargement R P Allen Number 1 Reservoir, suggests a history of cattle ranching and localized irrigation. These features are linked by a series of county roads such as Co RD 241 and Co RD 107, which traverse the undulating terrain between the forks of Bear Creek. The drainage patterns of the N Fork S Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr reveal how the topography dictates the placement of rural homesteads and vital water stores in this arid portion of Wyoming.
