2021 Map of Indian Guide

About this map

Indian Guide rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Albany, Laramie, and Platte counties meet. The drainage of S Fork Sybille Cr and Iron Mountain Cr dictates the local geography, feeding a system of upland water management that includes Two Bar Number 1 Reservoir and Iron Mountain Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Canon Number 1 Reservoir and its companion, Canon Number 3 Reservoir, illustrate the historical importance of water storage for ranching and resource management in this corner of the state. Steep terrain is defined by dramatic breaks like Waechter Canyon, East Canyon, and Timber Canyon, which carve through the high plains. Roads such as Sybille Rd and Co RD 12 provide the primary access through this sparsely populated territory, linking isolated drainage basins like Canteen Cr and Hay Canyon.
