1963 Map of Laramie

About this map

Laramie sits at a crossroads of education and industry in the Laramie Valley, centered around the sprawling campus of the University of Wyoming. This mid-century survey reveals the city’s complex infrastructure, from the Union Pacific rail lines and the winding Laramie River to specialized industrial sites like the Cement Plant and Shale Aggregate Plant south of town. The map provides a remarkable level of detail for local historians, identifying numerous neighborhood landmarks such as St Lawrence Sch, Beitel Sch, and Nellie Iles Sch. To the south, the historic location of Ft Sanders (Site) near Spring Creek serves as a reminder of the area's frontier military origins, while Howe Airfield and the Radio Tower (KLME) represent the modernization of the high plains landscape.
