2015 Map of Buffalo Peak

About this map

The settlement of Boxelder sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the northern foothills of the Laramie Mountains meet the Medicine Bow National Forest. This 2015 survey details a complex drainage network including the Boxelder Crk and La Prele Cr, which carves through the dramatic La Prele Gorge in the east. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Buffalo Peak, Peterson Mtn, and Sullivan Mtn. Local landmarks like Bear Rock and Standing Rock provide essential orientation points for those navigating the backcountry. The map also reveals the rural road network, with routes like Boxelder Rd and Cold Springs Rd providing access to remote ranching and forest lands near Elk Lake and Boiler Spring.
