1978 Map of Torrington

About this map

Fort Laramie National Historic Site stands as a central landmark in this 1970s survey of eastern Wyoming and the Nebraska border. The landscape is defined by the North Platte River corridor, which supported both the westward expansion along the Emigrant Trail and the later development of the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific railroads. Significant water management and recreation areas are evident at Glendo Reservoir and Guernsey Reservoir, which are flanked by Glendo State Park and Guernsey State Park.
