About this map

Nimmo Ranch serves as the focal point for this Laramie County landscape, where ranching heritage is etched into the terrain through complex water management systems. The map details an intricate network of irrigation, including the Horse Cr Ditch Number 1 and the Snow Cattle Co Ditch Number 4, which divert water from Horse Cr to support the high plains agricultural economy.

The physical geography is defined by a series of named ephemeral drainages and creeks, such as Little Bear Cr, Lost Corner Cr, and Lewis Draw. These features, along with family-named landmarks like Shelton Draw and Chivington Draw, provide a granular look at the local topography of the Wyoming interior. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including True Rd and Nimmo Rd, which connect the scattered operations of this ranching district.
