1963 Map of Pole Creek Ranch

About this map

Pole Creek Ranch and several dispersed ranching outposts define this high plains landscape in Laramie County during the early 1960s. The drainage of Lodgepole Creek serves as the primary corridor for settlement and water management, evidenced by the Pole Creek Reservoir and numerous named camps such as Berry Camp, Rabbit Camp, and Eagle Camp. These camps, along with Peegh Camp and Middle Camp, reflect a specialized agricultural or livestock management system partitioned by a network of fence lines and dirt tracks like J H D Road. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal waterways including Antelope Draw and Ninemile Draw, while local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit and a mapped Drill Hole near the southern edge of the survey.
