1990 Map of Tremain

About this map

The High Plains ranching landscape of the Wyoming-Nebraska border is documented here during the late 20th century. This area, crossing into Goshen, Laramie, and Banner counties, is defined by long-established family operations including McClure Ranch and Tremain Ranch. The terrain shifts from the level agricultural plateaus where Stinking Water Creek originates to the sharp breaks of Ninemile Canyon and Bull Canyon. Evidence of rural community life is centered at the Epworth Cem in the south, while the small settlement at Tremain and various landmarks like Ninemile Rock provide navigational anchors in this open country. A subterranean Pipeline and a modern Communication Tower indicate the integration of industrial infrastructure into this traditional cattle-ranching territory.
