About this map

The town of Pine Bluffs sits as a vital rail and road hub at the eastern edge of Laramie County, straddling the border between Wyoming and Nebraska. This 1963 survey, updated with 1976 aerial revisions, documents the community's dependence on the Union Pacific railroad and the critical corridor of Interstate 80 and U. S. 30. The map reveals a landscape defined by water and infrastructure, from the Wisroth Reservoir and Lodgepole Creek to the town's central Rodeo Ground and local High Sch.

To the west, the winding Muddy Creek and Spring Creek meet the rising terrain of the Pine Bluffs, while the northern reaches include Chivington Draw. Local industry and services are represented by several Gravel Pits, a dedicated Landing Strip, and the town Cem. The map detail captures the intersection of rural agriculture and interstate transit, showing how the settlement cluster clings to the sheltered base of the namesake bluffs.
