2015 Map of Braae

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Converse County quadrangle, where the Laramie Mountains transition into complex drainages. The small settlement of Braae sits at a central junction of rural routes, including Braae Rd and Esterbrook Rd, serving as a waypoint in a high-elevation ranching and foresting area. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Baldy Ridge and the steep walls of La Bonte Canyon, while local water management is evident at Indian Reservoir Number 1 and Pexton Reservoir Number 1. This 2015 survey illustrates how the rugged topography dictates the path of legacy roads like Saddleback Rd, which wind around prominent landforms such as Gray Rocks and through the timbered reaches of Morrison Park.
