About this map

The North Platte River serves as the focal point for this 1963 survey of Goshen County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of irrigation and transportation. The city of Torrington and its neighbor South Torrington are depicted as hubs of activity, featuring the Goshen county Court House, City Hall, and St Josephs Orphanage. This map provides a detailed view of the region's agricultural infrastructure, including the Interstate Canal, Torrington Ditch, and Arnold Dam.

Historic transit corridors are remarkably well-documented, tracing the path of the Emigrant Trail alongside modern rail lines like the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific. The presence of the Cold Springs Station (Site) near Cold Springs Branch offers a tangible link to the area's pioneer past. The terrain transitions from the river valley's Settling Ponds and Gaging Sta to the distinct geological formation known as The Narrows.
