The railroads were blasted through rock faces and things like that so obviously that changed. Also shanty towns sprung up along the railroads. Shanty towns are towns that sprung up quickly and were almost always wooden, so again this changed. Ranching then changed the landscape as they popped up everywhere when cattle drives began to slow a bit. I hope this is what you are looking for!
Railroads could transport cattle from the west, so farmers did not feel the need to move west. Which affected Western migration.Railroads played a key role. Trains carried natural resources from the west to eastern markets. Trains also brought miners, farmers, and ranchers to develop the land.
Huge pieces of land were fenced for cattle ranching.
farmin and ranching is pretty much all :(
Americans began traveling to the West to settle.
The government continued to pass laws to encourage people to settle the West, while the railroads made transportation from the east to the west faster and more convenient.

bad
they made ranching easier
Ranching significantly altered the landscape of the American West by introducing extensive grazing practices that transformed natural ecosystems. Overgrazing led to soil erosion and degradation of native vegetation, while the establishment of ranches and cattle trails contributed to the fragmentation of habitats. Additionally, ranching prompted the development of infrastructure such as roads and towns, further reshaping the land. This shift in land use also displaced Indigenous communities and wildlife, resulting in long-lasting environmental impacts.
Railroads brought supplies and people from the east which made western towns grow
