2021 Map of Millbrook

About this map

Hatton stands at the heart of this landscape in Albany County, where the high plains of Wyoming meet the foothills of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of water management essential to the high-desert livestock economy, featuring extensive irrigation works like the John McCreary Ditch, Mammoth Ditch, and Stewart Canal. These systems draw from the Little Laramie River to fill local storage such as Millbrook Reservoir Number One and the expansive Lake Hattie Reservoir to the south. Land use is deeply tied to ranching heritage, evidenced by a grid of roads with names like Gelding Rd, Stallion St, and Riata Rd. Topographical landmarks including Table Mtn and Croonberg Draw provide a clear view of the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated settlement and transit in this corner of the Laramie Plains.
