1905 Map of Sherman

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Sherman Mountains and the high ridges of the Laramie Mountains dominate this early 20th-century landscape, serving as a backdrop for the early expansion of the American West. The survey highlights the high-elevation passage of the Union Pacific RR across the rugged divide, marked by the monolithic Ames Monument and several ranching outposts like Sherman and Leslie. The region's early industrial efforts are visible at the Strong Coppermine and the settlement of Silver Crown, while the intricate network of the Crow Creek and Lodgepole Creek drainage systems supported a dense concentration of homesteads. Local family names are etched across the map, from Carey Ranch in the north to the McLaughlin Ranch and Whitakers Ranch, illustrating the transition from open range to established ranching territories just north of the Wyoming Colorado Boundary Line.
