About this map

The Laramie River and Little Laramie River dominate this portion of Albany County, where a complex network of man-made waterways like Oasis Ditch, Biddick Ditch, and Carroll Ditch Number 2 illustrates the critical role of water management in the high plains. The landscape is defined by its many bodies of water and depressions, including Bamforth Lake, Carroll Lake, and the distinctive Soap Holes.

Settlement is sparse, centered around the community of Wyoming in the northeast and anchored by ranching infrastructure. Named roads such as Pascoe Ranch Rd, Wind in Wire Ranch Rd, and Raptor Ranch Rd underscore the area's agricultural identity. The presence of the Fork of N Canal and N Canal further emphasizes the engineering required to sustain life and industry in the Big Basin during the early 21st century.
