Opportunities Offered in Southern Carbon County
The Encampment region in southern Carbon County offers free government land, inexpensive ranches with water rights, and thriving stock-raising. Prospects include 160 to 320 acre homesteads, alfalfa, grains, and berries, plus a growing hog, poultry, and mining economy. Revival of mining, proposed Portland Copper operations, and sale of Penn Wyoming properties drive optimism for new settlers. The area promises abundant opportunities for farming, cattle, mining, and investment as revival approaches.
