About this map

Colony sits in the far northeastern corner of Wyoming, serving as a focal point for the region's industrial and ranching operations. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Belle Fourche River, which cut through the terrain near landmarks like Bear Gulch and the Christofferson Dam. This area is characterized by its specialized transit network, specifically the Bentonite Haul Rd and the Bentonite Spur, indicating the significance of bentonite mining to the local economy.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a series of reservoirs including Kilpatrick Reservoir, Deep Creek Reservoir, and Kruger Creek Reservoir near Kruger Lake. Local family history is etched into the map through established homesteads such as the Thorval Jensen Ranch, Lillian Jensen Ranch, and McDonald Ranch, which are connected by a network of rural routes like Priewe Rd and Jensen Rd.
