About this map

Old Fort Fetterman Road tracks north-south through this high-altitude landscape, providing a historical anchor for the ranching and forestry operations of the Laramie Range. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, most notably La Prele Creek and the dramatic Wagon Hound Gorge, where the water cuts sharply through the topography at Wagon Hound Falls.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement persists in features like the Moss Agate Sch and the Chamberlain Place, while a small Cem and isolated Mine reflect the localized nature of human activity. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Medicine Bow National Forest, where the higher elevations at Redenbaugh Pass and Baldy Point overlook managed water resources like the Gate No 2 Reservoir and Long Reservoir.
