About this map

The settlement of Miller lies within a landscape defined by an extensive and deliberate network of water management, where numerous canals and ditches crisscross the high plains of Albany County. This 2021 survey illustrates how irrigation systems like the Stewart Canal, Mammoth Ditch, and Pioneer Canal have shaped the land, supporting a series of natural and man-made water bodies including Swedes Cabin Lake, Pilger Lake, and Knadler Lake.

South of the winding Snowy Range Rd, the terrain rises toward the prominent Twin Buttes, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the broad depression of Big Basin. These geographical features, combined with family-named infrastructure like the Poverty Flat Ditch and Black Water Ditch, provide a detailed look at the rural engineering and ranching heritage of the region, documenting the ongoing relationship between the arid Wyoming environment and the settlers who have sought to harness its resources.
