2021 Map of Buck Peak

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, where steep drainages and high summits define the southern Converse County terrain. The survey details the complex network of creeks that feed the region, including Box Elder Creek and Buck Creek, which carve through the high country. Several prominent summits serve as landmarks, from the central heights of Buck Peak and Pole Mountain to Lookout Peak and Davis Peak in the north. The topography reveals a land managed for both natural preservation and local access, evidenced by the presence of Deer Creek Trail and County Road 17. Named features like Lester's Grant, Keely Draw, and Negro Gulch provide specific points of interest for those tracing land use history or historical place names in this part of the Laramie Range foothills.
