About this map

Centennial sits at the base of the Medicine Bow Mountains, serving as a gateway to the high-country drainages of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the N Fork Little Laramie River and its tributaries, including Libby Cr and Mullen Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates a long history of water management in the Centennial Valley, evidenced by the intricate network of irrigation features such as the Old Channel Ditch, Adams Ditch, and Markle Ditch.

To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Centennial Ridge and Corner Mtn, where numerous alpine lakes like Brooklyn Lake and Upper Silver Run Lake dot the mountain slopes. The presence of Snowy Range Rd and Old State Highway 130 provides a clear view of the transportation corridors that have historically connected this ranching and mining hub to the high timber and mineral resources of the range.
