1960 Map of Tremain

About this map

Isolated ranching outposts and rugged high-plains topography define this borderlands region where Laramie, Goshen, and Banner counties meet at the Wyoming-Nebraska state line. The map highlights a network of family-held properties such as Tremain Ranch, Green Ranch, and Spahr Ranch, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of the western ranching economy in the mid-20th century. The land is deeply incised by drainages like Ninemile Canyon and Wyoming Canyon, which cut through the elevated plateaus of Hull and Epworth. Geologists and historians will note localized landmarks like Ninemile Rock and evidence of resource exploration via a Drill Hole. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Epworth Cem and the small settlement of Tremain serve as the primary focal points for local community life near Stinking Water Creek.
