1961 Map of Round Top Lake

About this map

The High Plains Grasslands Research Station occupies a significant portion of this Laramie County landscape, illustrating the region's dedication to agricultural science and land management. The eastern edge is defined by the boundary of Francis E Warren Air Force Base, where the terrain transitions toward military infrastructure. Hydrological features dominate the southern half of the sheet, where an intricate network of waterways including Crow Creek, Spring Creek, and Diamond Creek are supplemented by a system of Aqueducts. Small settlements and outposts like Carpenter Mill Camp and Shellback appear alongside industrial markers such as a Filtration Plant and various Gravel Pits. The topography is shaped by prominent rises such as Stevenson Hill, while thoroughfares like Federal Road and Happy Jack Road provide the primary transit links through this high-plains environment.
