1962 Map of P O Ranch

About this map

The P O Ranch serves as the namesake for this 1962 Laramie County survey, illustrating the ranching and irrigation systems established in the plains north of Cheyenne. The landscape is defined by the east-west passage of Lodgepole Creek, which is supported by the North Lodgepole Ditch to manage water flow across the arid terrain. Natural water features like Peach Lake and the drainage of Chivington Draw provide essential resources for the cattle operations that dominated the local economy during the early 1960s.
