2015 Map of P O Ranch

About this map

P O Ranch serves as the central anchor for this corner of Laramie County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of Lodgepole Cr and its associated irrigation infrastructure, such as the N Lodgepole Ditch. The terrain is characterized by broad draws and isolated basins like Peach Lake and Antelope Draw, reflecting a cattle-country economy dependent on seasonal water sources. The road network reveals a curious thematic cluster of names seemingly inspired by regional national parks, including Mammoth Rd, Geyser Rd, and Fishing Bridge Rd. This grid of local routes like Yellowstone Rd and Ridley Rd overlays a landscape largely divided into sections under the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the transition from traditional ranching to more modern rural development patterns in the plains east of the Laramie Mountains.
