1962 Map of Millbrook

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad and the Little Laramie River shape this stretch of the Wyoming plains during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation systems, including the Mammoth Ditch, Stewart Canal, and Black Water Ditch, which support an economy of established family homesteads like Whitney Ranch, Lohan Ranch, and McCue Ranch. The small settlement of Hatton and the Millbrook Sch serve as local hubs along the rail line, reflecting the rural community structure of Albany County before modern consolidation.
