1964 Map of Buck Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high ridges of the Laramie Range meet a network of headwater streams. In the mid-1960s, this area remained characterized by remote homesteads and ranching outposts, such as the Snowshoe Ranch and the Buck Place in the central hills. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Box Elder Creek and Gunnysack Creek carving through the terrain between prominent summits like Buck Peak and Lookout Peak. A localized sense of community is visible at the Box Elder Sch, which served the scattered families living along the creek draws. The map illustrates a rural economy tied to the land, marked by established grazing boundaries and seasonal water sources like Snowshoe Gulch and Keely Draw. This 1985 publication reflects data from 1964, documenting the ranching infrastructure before modern developments changed the character of the Wyoming backcountry.
