2015 Map of Buck Peak

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of Converse County, where the Laramie Mountains transition into a landscape of high summits and deep drainages. Significant landmarks like Buck Peak and Lookout Peak overlook a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including the westward-flowing Horse Cr and the winding Box Elder Cr. The human footprint in this part of Wyoming is characterized by scattered ranching outposts and family sites such as Buck Place and Leahy Place, connected by primitive routes like Boxelder Rd and Gunnysock Rd. Topographic features like Fire Canyon and Negro Gulch emphasize the complex erosional patterns of the high plains, providing a detailed view of the area before modern land-use changes might alter these remote cattle-country homesteads.
