About this map

The settlement of Hecla serves as a central point in this high-altitude landscape of Laramie County, characterized by a complex network of water management and storage. Significant reservoirs dominate the terrain, including Granite Springs Reservoir to the west and Crystal Lake Reservoir centrally, both critical for regional water supplies. The hydrography is further defined by the North Crow Diversion Reservoir and South Crow Creek Reservoir, connected by named features like Whitney Ditch and N Fork Crow Cr.

Topographical landmarks such as Table Mtn and Crystal Ridge rise above the drainage systems of McIntyre Draw and Red Canyon Rd. The road network, including the well-known Happy Jack Rd and various loops around the mountain terrain, reflects the area's development for both utility and access. Smaller water bodies like Twin Lakes and Renslaer Reservoir sit tucked into the canyons, providing specific points of interest for local geography and historic water rights research.
