1963 Map of Midway SW

About this map

Chivington Draw and Antelope Draw define the drainage patterns across this high plains landscape in Laramie County, Wyoming. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching territory where Section lines and cattle boundaries are often more prominent than human settlements. The corridor along Hillsdale Road serves as the primary north-south artery through the township, connecting the scattered operations of this dryland region. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit located near the southern margin, providing material for the maintenance of local section roads and county infrastructure. The map is particularly notable for its recording of property boundaries, represented by fine dashed lines that trace the fencing of the era, offering a detailed view of mid-century land use and range management before later modernization changed the rural character.
