1982 Map of Rock River

About this map

Rock River and the high plains of the Laramie Basin define this 1982 landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for local commerce. The map records a series of small trackside settlements including Lookout, Harper, and Bosler, as well as the more remote Farthing (Iron Mtn PO) near the Albany and Laramie county border. The water management infrastructure is a dominant feature, anchored by the expansive Wheatland Reservoir No 2 and Wheatland Reservoir No 3, which contrast with natural water bodies like Cooper Lake. To the east, the Laramie Mountains rise sharply, punctuated by landmarks such as Squaw Mountain and Moonshine Peak. This survey provides a look at the region's diverse land use, from the Sybille Game and Fish Experimental Unit to the legacy of transportation evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade.
