1968 Map of Pinto Creek

About this map

North Laramie Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this high-plains landscape in Albany County, Wyoming. The drainage patterns of Pinto Creek and the South Fork Pinto Creek reveal a land shaped by scarce water, where isolated water sources were critical for ranching and settlement. Key landmarks such as Elk Horn Spring, Three Tree Spring, and Salomon Springs provide essential grounding for local history and land-use studies. The infrastructure of the late 1960s is represented by Garrett Road and several man-made water catchments, including Twentymile Reservoir and Sturgeon Res No 3. These features indicate a coordinated effort to manage the watershed across the undulating terrain of Twentymile Draw and Coon Creek.
