1963 Map of Laramie

About this map

The University of Wyoming anchor the center of this high-plains city, where urban expansion in the late 1970s is clearly visible through purple-tinted photo-revisions. The Laramie River and the main line of the Union Pacific railroad define the western corridor, supporting heavy industry such as the Cement Plant and Shale Aggregate Plant south of town. This survey documents a critical period of growth, capturing new residential developments east of Corthell Road while preserving the location of the historic Pt Sanders (Site). Local educational and civic infrastructure is well-represented, from the Lincoln Sch to the National Guard Armory, alongside leisure sites like the Laramie Country Club and Washington Park. To the east, the terrain rises into the foothills toward Telephone Canyon, while the north is marked by agricultural water management through the Pioneer Canal.
