Butner Ranch and several other family-owned operations anchor this mid-century survey of Platte County, where the Laramie River system dictates the settlement pattern. The landscape is dominated by the high ground of Johnson Mountain and Sheep Mountain, while the valley floors are utilized for agriculture and water management, evidenced by the Mitchell Canal and the Pipe Line running through the southern reaches. Local education and community life are marked by the Sommers-Shockley School and a Boy Scout Camp near the river.
