1963 Map of Lindbergh

About this map

Lindbergh and the surrounding high plains terrain are captured during the early 1960s, a period when the Union Pacific railroad remained the primary artery for transportation across the Laramie County landscape. This survey highlights a rural ranching and agricultural economy, with the tiny settlement of Russell and the Lindbergh Cem serving as focal points for local genealogy and history. The map also documents the State Line between Wyoming and Nebraska, where the drainage of Bushnell defines the topographic character. A small Gravel Pit indicates local industry, while the systematic section lines and scattered homesteads illustrate the enduring homesteading patterns of the High Plains.
