2018 Map of Banner Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Natrona and Converse County border region, where the Laramie Range rises toward Banner Mountain. The terrain is defined by a series of deep cuts and grazing lands, including Lower Deer Creek Canyon and the high-elevation basin of Negro Creek Park. Water management is central to the area's geography, anchored by Rissler Reservoir and McDonald Reservoir, which support the drainages of Muddy Cr and Negro Cr. Local ranching and transit history is traced through named pastures like Steeple Pasture and Portuguese Pasture, alongside backroads such as Hat Six Rd and Cardine Rd that navigate the draws and canyons. The map preserves the specific nomenclature of the high plains, from the dramatic Trout Canyon to the wide Duck Creek Flats.
