2021 Map of Garrett

About this map

The settlement of Garrett sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape where the N Laramie River winds through rugged gulches. Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by a series of high-desert water storage sites including Sturgeon Number 3 Reservoir, Sturgeon Reservoir Number 1, and Sturgeon Reservoir Number 2. The landscape rises sharply at Sellers Mtn and Brandel Mtn, while the southwestern corner is marked by the distinctive Pinto Rocks. This 2021 survey illustrates a region largely defined by vast drainage systems like Wildcat Gulch and Fallas Draw, supporting a network of ranching roads such as Palmer Canyon Rd and River Bridge Rd. It reveals a transition from seasonal creek beds to permanent springs like Asbestos Spring, essential for land use in this part of Albany County.
