2017 Map of Cottonwood Creek

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this high-elevation Wyoming survey, where cattle ranching and water management define the local geography. Significant water infrastructure is evident through features like Joe Ditch, Bar M Number 3 Reservoir, and Newell Reservoir, all essential for supporting agriculture in the drainage basin of the N Laramie River. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks such as Bar M Mtn and Indian Head Rock, while a network of rural routes including Fetterman Rd and Esterbrook Rd provide access through the complex system of draws and creeks. This 2017 edition records the modern state of these public and private lands, illustrating the enduring importance of seasonal watercourses like Cottonwood Cr and Antelope Cr to the region’s topography.
