About this map

Harris Park and the small settlement of Binford anchor this 2012 survey of the high Wyoming landscape near Albany Peak. The map illustrates a rural area defined by isolated homesteads and ranching legacy, featuring many named family properties such as the Ballard Ranch, Sutherland Ranch, and White Ranch. These holdings are scattered across a complex drainage system fed by Cottonwood Cr, Soldier Cr, and Mill Cr, reflecting the vital importance of water rights in this arid environment.

Transportation through the foothills relies on a network of US Forest Service roads and local routes like Harris Park Rd and Cottonwood Park Rd. Of particular note for local history is the Laramie Peak Scout Camp near Fall Cr and the specialized Hagemeisters Twin Pine Ranch Airport, which speaks to the necessity of air travel for remote mountain operations. The terrain is further marked by distinct landmarks like Point of Rocks and Elliott Point, which have likely served as navigations markers for generations of residents.
