2015 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington sits as a central point of navigation in this high-altitude landscape where the plains of Wyoming meet the rising northern slopes of the Medicine Bow Mountains. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the Rock Creek Trl and Wagonhound Rd, reflecting historical transit routes that predated the modern interstate. To the south, the topography shifts dramatically as the land enters the Medicine Bow National Forest, defined by significant peaks such as Rock Mtn and Deer Mtn. This area is characterized by a complex drainage network, including W Fork Dutton Cr and E Fork Dutton Cr, which carve through the foothills near Woodedge. The presence of Cooper Hill further south marks the transition into the higher timbered reaches of the national forest, illustrating the historical importance of these mountain gateways for both early travel and water resource management.
