The property In 1859, the U.S. Congress authorized the Pony was established in the early 1860’s as a livestock Express as a mail delivery service. While short entity and boasts the oldest recorded water rights on lived, it paved the way for a stage line and series the Big Laramie River. of change stations along the route. One such route became known as the Overland Trail, Originally owned by Charley Hutton, Ed Creighton, operated by the Overland Trail Stage Company and Tom Alsop, the land was used for steer grazing. in 1862. The partnership on the property of these three prominent entrepreneurs created the first cattle The Big Laramie Station was a major overnight enterprise on the Laramie Plains and one of the first stop for the Overland Stage Company and was in the west. located on the west bank of the Big Laramie River. The ranch as it stands today was purchased by Henry Bath in 1928 and has remained within the Bath The Transcontinental Railroad signaled the family ever since. beginning of the end for the Overland Trail Stage Route. The buildings on the present ranch are very old and the long building used as a bunkhouse dates back Remains of stage stops are scattered throughout to the 1860’s. The Overland Trail stage station was Wyoming, and are occasionally marked with located just across the river on the west bank and historical signs or markers. The trail however, adjoining ranch. remains an important part of the historical American West and legacy of Wyoming. Historic uses of the property include cattle grazing, sheep and horse ranching, a cow/calf operation, and lucrative haying. Recreation Proximity to Wildlife Reserve ACTIVITIES Perhaps the most attractive asset to the ranch is the accessibility to outdoor recreation and activities. Capitalizing on the peaceful rolling hills, the ranch is ideal for placid and tranquil activities while enjoying the expansive views. Popular activities include horseback riding, hiking, and birding. The property also lends itself well to more engaging activities such as ATV motor sports, cycling, and trail running. FISHING With a steady volume of clean and cool water, the Laramie River traversing through the property allows for ideal private fishing. The Laramie River supports Brown and Rainbow Trout, and as a fairly wide stream, it is conducive to fly-fishing. Based on a fish population study by the Wyoming Game and Fish on a nearby property, fish populations have increased significantly since 2010, being near 50 pounds per mile in 2010 and near 250 in 2018. HUNTING WILDLIFE REFUGE A variety of big and small game species have The crescent-shaped ranch hugs the Hutton Lake National been known to occupy the ranch from time to Wildlife Refuge. The conservation habitat of open-water time, including pronghorn, deer, and prairie wetlands, grasslands, and alkali flats hosts over 146 rare dogs. The occasional elk, bear, moose, or migratory birds including the Golden Eagle, Burrowing mountain lion can sometimes be found on Owl, White-Faced Ibis, Northern Harrier Raptor, and the the property. Red-Winged Blackbird. White-tailed prairie dogs are also a common sight at the Refuge, as well as pronghorn and deer. RECREATION UTILITY IRRIGATION The water on this property is truly remarkable. With access to multiple water sources, the ranch offers a dynamic ditch system which flood irrigates much of the pastures. The northwest corner abuts the Laramie River which meanders through the property from southwest to the northeast. The river enters the property at the northwest corner of the ranch, extends for about seven miles (including meanders), and then ultimately exits at the center north boundary. A portion of this is centerline ownership, but most is full ownership. The river provides a perennial flow with high spring runoff and low flows later in the year. Much of this flood plain is used for subirrigated/irrigated pasture and irrigated hay meadow. Another dominant water feature is Sand Creek, which is a primary source for the ranch’s irrigation water. Sand Creek enters the ranch near the southwest corner and moves diagonally to the northeast where it eventually joins the Laramie River. It extends for about 11 miles on the property, including meanders. A considerable area of the flood plain is associated with Sand Creek and is mostly devoted to sub-irrigated grass and irrigated pasture along with a small amount of irrigated hay meadow. Local Amenities The charm, beauty, and privacy of the Bath Ranch is matched only by its close proximity to all of the modern amenities that in-town living can afford. Just a short drive away, Laramie offers a vibrant downtown with locally owned fine-dining options, shopping, and plays host to multiple community events and festivals throughout the year. Home to the University of Wyoming, the supportive community of Laramie rallies around university activities, cultural performances, and NCAA Division I Wyoming Cowboy and Cowgirl athletics! The nearby Laramie Regional Airport provides easy access to more extensive travel options with daily flights linking to Denver International Airport. For big city comforts, the Bath Ranch is ideally situated on the front range along the I-80 Corridor with easy access to U.S. Highway 287. These main thruways provide quick access within a reasonable driving distance to Fort Collins and Denver, Colorado.

The project was undertaken by UW-AMST as part of the public-sector component of the American Studies curriculum. Laramie’s West Side neighborhood comprises all of the residential blocks west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and east of the Laramie River. However, the blocks north of Clark Street were surveyed in a separate project (“Clark Street North”).1 Therefore, this survey project encompassed only the blocks from Clark Street south to Park Avenue.

  • AVIAN POPULATIONS of FOUR HERBACEOUS COMMUNITIES in SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING by JEAN E
    496 Vol. 66 AVIAN POPULATIONS OF FOUR HERBACEOUS COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING By JEAN E. FINZEL Many studies have been made of bird populations in North America, but most of these have been carried out in forested areas. Avian ecology on grassland and similar herbaceous communities has virtually been ignored. It was the aim of this study to ascertain the bird populations of four herbaceous communities at various elevations. It was desired to evaluate the density, composition, and seasonal variations of these populations. The study was started in the summer of 1958 and field work was terminated in the summer of 1960. Research localities were selected on the basis of their accessibility, relatively slight disturbance by man, and representation of the surrounding community. DESCRIPTION OF THE AREAS STUDIED Within a 40-mile radius of Laramie, Wyoming, are four rather distinct physiographic features. These are the Laramie Basin, the Medicine Bow Mountains, the Laramie Mountains, and the Great Plains. The two mountain ranges are part of the Southern Rocky Mountain Province and result from the division of the Front Range into two ranges. The Laramie Range trends almost due north, and the Medicine Bow Range trends northwest and terminates approximately 50 miles north of the Colorado-Wyom- ing state line. Between the two is the Laramie Basin. East of the Laramie Range lies the Great Plains Province (Fenneman, 193 1) . One study area was located in each of these physiographic types. The lowest area, occurring on the Great Plains, was located seven miles west of the city of Cheyenne in Laramie County (T.

  • French in the History of Wyoming from La Salle to Arland
    French in the History of Wyoming From La Salle to Arland Daniel A. Nichter https://wyo.press To Professor Emeritus Walter G. Langlois ii Preamble Let's address the elephant in the room: this is a book about history. And if that isn't boring enough, it's about Wyoming history, a state few people seem to know anything significant about. And to make it really boring, it's about French influences in the history of Wyoming. Wake up! This book is exciting and entertaining! Don't think of it as a history bookI don't. This is a book of stories, real and extraordinary people and their lives. Reality TV? Survivor series? Top chef? Amateurs, all of them! The people we're about meet will amaze and inspire you because, although their world was different, everything about them as humans is timeless. It doesn't matter that you and I have smart phones with GPS but they didn't even have hand-drawn maps of Wyoming. It doesn't matter that you and I have antibiotics but they just let a fever run its course, sometimes for a month or more. The facts of our worlds are radically different, but our hearts are the same: inspiration, determination, grit and perseverance; the joy of discovery, the loneliness of exploration; love, happiness, celebration; jealousy, anger, hatred; doubt, worry, and courage. This book is the product of years of research, undergirded by historical fact and the rigor of academic truth, but au cœur it is a book of stories as relevant today as one hundred years ago or one hundred years to come, for we are all explorers struggling to discover and settle new lands.

  • Wyoming Genealogy Research
    Wyoming Genealogy Research History Indigenous Peoples The people living in present day Wyoming before Europeans came included the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Crow, Shoshoni and Ute tribes. The Crow people followed seasonal abundance through the mountains and plains. The historical record describes American Plains Indians hunting in all corners of Wyoming. Oregon Trail chronicler Francis Parkman encountered Oglala Lakota people hunting bison on the Laramie Plains in 1846 as did the Stansbury Expedition in 1850. In 1857, the Warren survey expedition found Dakotas surrounding a herd of bison in the northern Black Hills. The Shoshone originally lived in the Wyoming mountains. They hunted bighorn sheep in the mountains, along with deer, elk and many smaller mammals. They also ate fish and insects. They gathered, dried and stored crickets, cicadas and grasshoppers, along with many plants for food or medicine. They crafted ladles from sheep horns and built conical log dwellings, called wickiups, some of which still stand. Other tribes who lived in present-day Wyoming at various times included Bannock, Gosiute, Kiowa, Kiowa- Apache, Menominee, Numa, and Pawnee. Tribal boundaries fluctuated with weather, game populations and alliances with other tribes. For example, the Comanche, one of the most entrepreneurial of tribes, once were part of the Shoshone tribe. In the middle 18th century they split from the Shoshone and moved south to rule the plains of Texas and Oklahoma. Wyoming’s current trails, roads and highways follow centuries-old Native American hunting and trade routes. European/American Explorers and Settlers Portions of what is present day Wyoming were at various times claimed by Spain, France, England and Mexico.
