1963 Map of Pine Bluffs SE

About this map

Pine Bluffs dominates the western half of this 1963 survey, where the dramatic escarpment marks a sharp transition in the High Plains landscape. Located at the unique three-state junction of Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado, the map details a region defined by high-elevation ranching and early petroleum infrastructure. Significant watercourses like Muddy Creek and Spring Creek wind through the northwest, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern plains, indicating the industrial movement of resources across state lines. The eastern portion is characterized by broad plateau land, including the area labeled Johnson. Isolated structures such as a Shed appear in the northern reaches, providing a precise record of the sparse rural settlement and land use pattern in the Laramie County and Kimball County borderlands during the mid-twentieth century.
