Cheyenne, Wyoming

The Western Windmill ~ In Western Cemeteries:  As essential as the windmill was in the East, it was even more essential west of the 20-inch rainfall line. As farming gave way to ranching, windmills became the only way to keep the herds hydrated. They provided the know-how for getting ground water to the surface. Mount Olivet Cemetery. [2013]
