The State Penitentiary stands on the outskirts of Rawlins, serving as a focal point for this expansive high-desert landscape during the late 1980s. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the Union Pacific railroad and the string of settlements it sustained, from the mining town of Hanna to the historic coal site of Carbon. The terrain transition is sharp, moving from the arid Great Divide Basin in the west toward the high timber of the Medicine Bow National Forest.
