1963 Map of Little Indian Draw

About this map

Kirkbride and several ranch outposts anchor this early 1960s survey of Laramie County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Little Indian Draw and Sprager Creek, which cut through the high plains. The ranching character of the land is evident in local labels such as Lower J H D Sheds and the J H D Road, indicating organized livestock operations and land management. Small clusters of human activity are scattered across the landscape at sites like Little Indian Camp and Divide Camp, while a lone Cem and Radio Tower provide discrete landmarks in an otherwise open range. The drainage of Horse Creek in the northwest corner and Middle Creek in the east further trace the natural hydrology that dictated settlement patterns in this part of the state.
