2021 Map of Fletcher Park

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of the Laramie Mountains, where the high-altitude landscape is carved by the N Laramie River and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a sparsely settled region defined by wide flats and named parks, including Cottonwood Park, Elk Park, and Fletcher Park. These areas suggest a history of seasonal grazing or early homesteading, connected by a network of forest roads such as Fletcher Park Rd and Brundel Creek Rd. Distinctive geological landmarks like Indian Head Rock, Chimney Rock, and Van Ortwick Hill rise above the drainage systems of Lone Tree Cr and Camp Cr. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Dry Laramie River flows near Wheeler Flat, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and terrain of the Albany and Platte County line during the early twenty-first century.
