1992 Map of Braae

About this map

Braae is situated in a high-elevation landscape within the northern reaches of the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming. This 1992 revision, based on surveys from the late 1970s and 1990, illustrates the intricate water network feeding into the Laramie Range foothills, including the drainage of La Bonte Creek and its many tributaries like Owl Creek, Bull Creek, and Softwater Creek. A small local Cem near the settlement of Braae and the nearby Indian Reservoir reflect the sparse but enduring human presence in this ranching and forest land. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks such as Baldy Ridge and Gray Rocks, while the Seventh Standard Parallel North cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a primary surveying reference point for Converse County. The map also delineates specialized areas like Ullman Park and the rugged La Bonte Canyon, essential for understanding local grazing and land use history.
