1981 Map of Laramie

About this map

Laramie sits as the central hub of this 1981 survey, where the Univ of Wyoming and General Brees Field mark the city's growth. The surrounding landscape transitions from the open Laramie Valley and the massive depression of Big Hollow to the east, where the Laramie Mountains and Medicine Bow National Forest rise toward Sherman Hill. This period shows the heavy reliance on the Union Pacific rail corridor, which threads through mountain passes and small high-plains settlements like Hermosa and Tie Siding.
