About this map

The Laramie River winds through this high-country landscape along the border of Colorado and Wyoming, flanked by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2019 survey captures the complex water management of the region, where features like Forrester Ditch Number 1, the Lower La Garde Ditch, and the Jimmy Cr Ditch redirect flow across the basin. These engineering works support the high-altitude ranching and agricultural lands south of the state line, while the western edge is defined by the protected wilderness of the Roosevelt National Forest.

Peaks and passes dominate the northern terrain, including Red Mountain Pass, Dempsey Dome, and Pinkham Mtn, with Crazy Mtn standing as a central landmark. For local historians, the Forrester Cem near East Lake provides a genealogical anchor in an area otherwise defined by water and wind. The map also traces the transition from the Medicine Bow Mountains into the open drainage systems of Jimmy Cr and Frenchwoman Cr.
