1963 Map of Laramie

About this map

The University of Wyoming anchors this mid-century look at Albany County, showing the city's residential and educational expansion east of the Laramie River. To the south, the historic military presence is recorded at the Ft Sanders (Site), while the agricultural legacy of the region is evident at the Experimental Farm and Howe Airfield. The landscape is a study in early 1960s infrastructure, featuring a dense network of local schools like Slade Sch and St Lawrence Sch, alongside heavy industrial footprints such as the Cement Plant and Shale Aggregate Plant near the Union Pacific tracks. On the western edge, the separate settlement of West Laramie sits across the river, while the eastern terrain rises toward the canyons of Pilot Mountain and Jack Rabbit Canyon.
