About this map

Meriden serves as a central point of reference in this landscape at the border of Goshen and Laramie Counties. The area's agricultural character is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the flow of Horse Creek and Little Horse Creek. Significant features such as the Coad Reservoir and various water works, including the Coad Ditch and Little Horse Cr Number 4 Ditch, highlight the historical engineering required to sustain ranching and farming in this high plains environment.

Terrain features like Lovercheck Canyon and Fourmile Draw provide relief to the landscape, while the presence of the Sprinkler Geyser near Mills Creek suggests unique hydrological activity. The map also records several local irrigation projects like the Wood and Lykins Ditch and the Springvale Number 1 Ditch, offering specific geographical markers for family historians and researchers tracking land use and water rights development in southeast Wyoming.
