Wyoming Maps and Counties

Below are some maps of the Cowboy State, the earliest being a breakdown of the Counties in 1872. There were only 4 Counties then: Sweetwater, Carbon, Albany, and Laramie Counties. Each extended from the present day Colorado border northward to the present day Montana border.
