1950 Map of Rockeagle

About this map

Fort Laramie Military Reservation (Abandoned) occupies the northern landscape of this survey, illustrating the transition of former frontier defense lands into civil use. Situated within the distinct depression of the Goshen Hole and beneath the rising terrain of Harmony Heights, the area is defined by a sparse network of ranching infrastructure and isolated water sources. The small settlement of Rockeagle sits near the southern boundary, while the Old Doty Ranch Site near Cherry Creek provides a specific point of interest for researchers tracing the early cattle ranching history of Goshen County. Numerous Windmill labels scattered across the quadrangle highlight the essential role of groundwater in sustaining life on the high plains, particularly near landmarks like Doty Hill and Horseshoe Butte.
