2017 Map of Millbrook

About this map

The Little Laramie River meanders through this portion of Albany County, defining a landscape heavily shaped by early 21st-century water management and ranching. The small settlements of Hatton and Millbrook sit amidst an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Bellamy Ditch, Mammoth Ditch, and Stewart Canal. These waterworks supported the high-altitude agricultural operations of the Laramie Plains, funneling resources toward larger bodies like the Lake Hattie Reservoir and the twin Millbrook Reservoirs. To the south and west, the terrain rises toward Table Mtn and the edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest. This survey captures the modern ranching era, where legacy place names like Swedes Cabin-Lake and Croonberg Draw persist alongside newer rural developments accessed by roads such as Wild Horse Ranch Rd and Trailblazer Rd.
