About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by the North Laramie River and its numerous tributaries. Settled activity is sparse, centered on the C U Ranch and isolated landmarks like Buckland and Jock. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally complex, defined by several prongs of Pine Creek and the deep incisions of Green Canyon and Coyote Canyon.

Prominent summits like Sugarloaf Mountain, Jack Squirrel Peak, and Blue Jay Mountain provide a clear sense of the vertical relief that shaped movement through this territory. A network of 4wd tracks and trails provides the primary access through the forest, connecting the high ridges to the drainage of Cow Creek. This map preserves the mid-century ranching and forestry footprint before modern development reached the more secluded sections of Albany County.
