1967 Map of Round Butte

About this map

The Wyoming Colorado state line bisects this 1967 survey, where the arid high plains of Laramie and Larimer Counties meet. This is a landscape defined by livestock and logistics, anchored by several operational encampments including Brannigan Camp and the series of camps at Jack Springs. The terrain is characterized by the prominent volcanic profile of Round Butte and the flanking waters of the Round Butte Reservoirs. An Old Railroad Grade traverses the eastern sections near Spottlewood Creek, suggesting the historical reach of industrial transport into these remote grazing lands. Water is the primary driver of development here, evident in the numerous named sources like Soapstone Springs and the Flowing Well that support the ranching infrastructure across the Flats.
