2017 Map of Ayres Spring

About this map

Post Lake and the winding course of the Laramie River anchor the southern reaches of this high plains landscape in Albany County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Sevenmile Cr and Spring Cr, which cut through the high country surrounding Red Hill. Vital water sources for local ranching and wildlife are documented at Ayres Spring and Box Spring. Sparse but essential infrastructure connects this remote area, primarily via Palmer Canyon Rd and Kite Ranch Rd. The map illustrates a traditional Western landscape where water dictates the location of landmarks and travel routes, preserving the spatial relationship between the river valley and the arid uplands of the Laramie Range foothills.
