USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Wheatland serves as the focal point of this 1951 survey, appearing as a developed grid-pattern town supported by a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The landscape is defined by the Colorado and Southern railroad and a massive system of water management, including the Laramie River No 1 Ditch, City Ditch, and No 1 Canal. These features highlight the importance of water rights and transport in the high plains economy of the mid-20th century.
