1963 Map of Round Top

About this map

Golden Prairie America Ch. stands as a central community landmark in this portion of eastern Laramie County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the high plains topography of the High Plains, where the distinct elevations of Round Top and Hunter Flattop rise above the surrounding drainage basins. Water sources are critical in this arid ranching environment, with Bull Spring Creek and Herrick Creek providing the primary drainage, supplemented by several named springs and wells. The map reveals a high-altitude agricultural and grazing region organized by a strict section-line road grid, with subtle industrial activity indicated by a Gravel Pit. The detailed contour lines illustrate the transition between the flat prairie lands and the more complex terrain of the bluffs and mesas that characterize the Wyoming landscape.
