1963 Map of Lingle

About this map

The town of Lingle serves as a focal point in this Wyoming landscape, where the historic Emigrant Trail traverses the southwestern corner near the Platte River valley. The local agricultural economy is clearly defined by an extensive irrigation network, including the Interstate Canal and Lucerne Ditch, which redirect water across the arid terrain. These man-made watercourses contrast with natural drainage patterns like Rawhide Creek and Willy Draw, illustrating the intensive effort to cultivate this section of Goshen County in the early 1960s.
