1955 Map of Bull Camp Peak

About this map

The Laramie Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape in Albany County, where the Laramie River winds through high-altitude canyons and basins. Remote ranching outposts like the Kennedy Ranch and the small Kennedy Sch speak to the isolated rural life of the era, while infrastructure like the Wheatland Tunnel No 2 and its associated Wheatland Tunnel Road reflect mid-century efforts to manage water resources for the Missouri River Basin. Significant peaks and landmarks such as Douthitt Mountain, Sugar Loaf, and Elmers Rock provide a detailed topographic view of the terrain before later modern development. This survey, grounded in 1949 aerial photography and 1955 field checks, captures a specific moment in Wyoming's pastoral and engineering history, marking the location of high-country settlements like Bull Camp and the prominent Bull Camp Peak.
