A History of Laramie Through its Maps
This exhibit features 10 large maps of Laramie from 1875 to 1965, and one large Albany County map from 1886. Each map includes a brief description of the growth of Laramie and highlights features on the map, including businesses, schools, churches, hospitals, and street names. The Albany County Map shows a much larger county that, at the time, extended north to present-day Crook County.
