2012 Map of Centennial

About this map

Centennial serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape, where the town's small grid of streets, including 4th St and 3rd St, sits at the base of Centennial Ridge. The map details a complex network of alpine hydrology and recreation, with numerous lakes such as Swastika Lake and Brooklyn Lake feeding into the forks of the Little Laramie River. Educational and leisure infrastructure is prominent, evidenced by the University of Wyoming Science Camp and the Snowy Range Lodge. The irrigation history of the region is traced through early engineering works like Adams Ditch, Domick Ditch, and Markle Ditch, which directed water from the mountain streams to lower elevations. This survey captures the area's dual character as both a center for academic field study and a recreational hub, featuring the Medicine Bow Ski Area and various forest service campgrounds along the Nash Fork.
