About this map

J H D Ranch serves as the focal point for this Laramie County landscape, where ranching operations rely on an engineered water system. The movement of water through this high-plains environment is meticulously documented via the J H D Supply Ditch, which feeds into the J H D Reservoir Number 1. This human-made infrastructure works alongside natural drainages like Horse Cr and Trail Cr, illustrating the intensive water management necessary for agriculture in the Wyoming interior.

Transportation throughout the townships is defined by a sparse grid of county roads, including CR-131 and CR-234. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with contours revealing the drainages that cut through the ranch lands. The Public Land Survey System grid lines for T17N and T18N provide the structural framework for these large-scale holdings, showing how early land division continues to shape property and usage in the modern era.
