1970 Map of Verona

About this map

The northern Wyoming landscape near Verona is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses and draws that carve through the Sheridan County terrain. By 1970, the region’s development remained concentrated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, where the Ulm Road follows the path of the Dutch Creek valley. Local education is anchored at the Dutch Creek Sch, serving a community of scattered ranches and family-named landmarks like the settlement of Tibbets and Tibbetts Gulch. The reliance on water management in this environment is evident through features such as the Burlington Reservoir and numerous springs that feed into the complex drainage systems of Beaver Creek and the Middle Fork. This survey documents a ranching landscape where local geography is marked by historic pathways like the Jeep Trail and naming traditions found in Dead Indian Draw and Stout Draw.
