2012 Map of Miller

About this map

Miller and the nearby Windmill Ranch sit within a high-altitude ranching landscape defined by an intricate network of man-made waterways. This 2012 survey illustrates the vital role of irrigation in Albany County, where features like Mammoth Ditch, Poverty Flat Ditch, and the Stewart Canal divert water across the basin to support livestock and agriculture. The topography is dominated by The Big Hollow, a massive wind-eroded depression that forms a distinctive landmark in this part of the Wyoming plains. Scattered across the terrain are natural and modified water bodies, including Knadler Lake, Pilger Lake, and the evocatively named Swedes Cabin Lake. In the southern portion of the map, the elevation rises toward Twin Buttes, providing a clear view of the contrast between the flat, irrigated valley floor and the surrounding high-desert features accessed via Big Hollow Rd.
