2012 Map of Cottonwood Creek

About this map

N Laramie River dominates this portion of Albany County, winding through a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and topographic draws. The northern section is marked by the Bar M Number 3 Reservoir and Hay Draw, illustrating the local reliance on water management in an arid environment. Transportation across this remote ranching country is facilitated by Esterbrook Rd and Garrett Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and pastures. To the southeast, the landscape becomes increasingly detailed with named features like Indian Head Rock and Buckland Draw, alongside the drainage of Cow Cr. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, where large-scale land management and natural landmarks like Newell Reservoir define the human footprint on the Wyoming range.
