About this map

The Laramie Mountains dominate this 1955 survey of the Wyoming high country, where the winding Laramie River carves through the central terrain. This landscape is a patchwork of water management and high-altitude ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Wheatland Tunnel No 1 and Wheatland Tunnel No 2. These engineering features highlight the importance of water diversion in Albany County during the mid-century era.

Local life is anchored at the Kennedy Ranch, which sits near the Kennedy Sch, providing a rare point of human settlement in this complex topography of peaks and canyons. Notable landmarks include the prominent Bull Camp Peak, the distinctive Sugar Loaf, and Elmers Rock. Numerous drainages such as Bluegrass Creek, Mill Creek, and Dipping Vat Creek feed into the river system, illustrating the intricate natural drainage patterns that defined this cattle-country environment.
