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!

How did ranching change the landscape in the west?

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.
