2012 Map of Ayres Spring

About this map

Dodge Ranch serves as a primary point of reference in this high-plains landscape of Albany County, where the topography is defined by the flow of the Laramie River and the northern reaches of Wheatland Reservoir Number 3. The terrain transitions from the water-rich bottomlands to prominent geological formations like Red Hill and Box Canyon. A network of intermittent drainages including Sevenmile Cr and Spring Cr provides a seasonal pulse to the region, connecting isolated water sources like Ayres Spring and Box Spring. Accessibility across this ranching country is maintained by the prominent Palmer Canyon Rd, which cuts through the southwestern section of the quadrangle. The map documents a sparsely populated but vital corridor of Wyoming’s interior, reflecting a persistent cattle-ranching heritage near the Laramie Range foothills.
