About this map

Greaser Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement in this high-altitude landscape within the Laramie Mountains. This 2012 survey illustrates the sophisticated water management required for ranching and resource use in the Wyoming interior, evidenced by a series of engineered catchments including Strong Number 1 Reservoir, Strong Number 4 Reservoir, and Bliss Number 1 Reservoir. These reservoirs are linked by a complex drainage network where Strong Cr and Middle Sybille Cr cut through the terrain.

Prominent landforms like Baldy Mountain and the distinct formations known as The Buttes provide significant navigational landmarks across the central portion of the sheet. The mapping of Wayside Rd and various creek beds such as Shanton Cr and Middle Chugwater Cr reveals the remote connectivity of Albany County, documenting the essential relationship between local topography and the infrastructure of modern Wyoming ranching.
