1963 Map of Howell

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad line forms the backbone of this high plains landscape, running parallel to the winding course of the Laramie River north of Laramie. This 1963 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, illustrates a transition from traditional ranching to modern infrastructure, where named homesteads like the Lundberg Ranch and Bosler Ranch sit alongside complex water management systems. The reliance on irrigation in this arid environment is evident through the presence of the Pioneer Canal and North Canal, which divert water across the flats. To the east, the terrain rises into named features such as Red Hill and Katie Brown Canyon, while local industry is represented by a Quarry and a Gravel Pit. Near the settlement of Howell, an Old Railroad Grade remains visible, marking the shifts in transport history throughout Albany County.
