USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Colorado and Southern (Burlington Route) anchors the development of this Platte County landscape, running parallel to the north-south alignment of U.S. 87. Centered on the growing hub of Wheatland, the map reveals a sophisticated irrigation network vital to high-plains agriculture, featuring the Laramie River No 1 Ditch, City Ditch, and Highline Canal. Small rail-side points like Whiting and Gibson contrast with the larger ranching operations, such as Phifer Ranch and Bard Ranch, that define the outskirts of the settlement.
