1992 Map of Cottonwood Creek

About this map

Fort Fetterman Road bisects this high-elevation landscape, following a historic transportation corridor through the north-central Wyoming ranchlands. The map reveals a remote pastoral economy dependent on water sources like the North Laramie River and Toltec Reservoir. Educational and logistical hubs are few, represented by the isolated Antelope Creek Sch and a mountain Airstrip situated near the eastern boundary of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Dramatic elevation changes are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Bar M Mountain and Indian Head Rock. The drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek and Antelope Creek define the local topography, which is crisscrossed by secondary routes like Garrett Road and the Harvey Trail, illustrating the rugged connectivity required in the Albany County backcountry during the late twentieth century.
