1992 Map of Millbrook

About this map

Hatton and the scattered family holdings of the Wyoming high plains define this landscape as it appeared in the early 1990s. The northern reaches are characterized by a network of ranching homesteads such as Whitney Ranch, Loban Ranch, and Forbes Ranch, all supported by an intricate system of water management including the Hecht and Farrell Ditch and the Mammoth Canal. The Little Laramie River winds through the western terrain, while the massive Lake Hattie Reservoir anchors the southern boundary. Transportation and trade are etched into the map via the Union Pacific rail line and historical routes like the Overland Trail. From the heights of Table Mountain to the localized community center at Millbrook Sch, this survey captures a specialized ranching economy reliant on gravity-fed irrigation and iron rails.
