1963 Map of Red Buttes

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor and the historic Overland Trail dominate this high-plains landscape, cutting a diagonal path through the ranch lands south of Laramie. This 1963 survey captures a territory defined by industrial water management and cattle ranching, where the Aqueduct and various pipelines snake across the terrain to support local operations. At the heart of the sheet lies Red Buttes, a prominent landmark along the rail line that serves as a focal point for the surrounding homesteads.
