2021 Map of Bristol Ridge

About this map

High plains ranching culture is the defining characteristic of this Laramie County landscape, where family-named operations like McDonald Ranch, Hirsig Ranch, and Moffett Ranch anchor a network of rural roads. The terrain is marked by the eponymous Bristol Ridge in the south and Chalk Hill to the north, creating a series of drainages and seasonal draws including Sweet Draw and McCann Draw. Water management in this semi-arid environment is visible through features like the Nimmo Reservoir Number 9, supporting livestock across the vast tracts of T19N and T18N.
