About this map

Jelm Mtn and Ring Mtn anchor the high-elevation terrain of Albany County in this modern survey. The map details a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs that define the water resources of the region, including Trapper Spring, Barrel Spring, and Lindsey Spring. These water sources feed into various creeks like Dickey Cr and Maggie Cr, which navigate the steep topography of the Laramie Mountains foothills.

Evidence of local infrastructure is found in routes such as Jelm Mountain Rd and the industrial-utility Gyp Quarry Rd. Significant water management is visible through the Old King Ditch in the northeast corner and the alpine waters of Ring Lake Number 1 and Ring Lake Number 2. The landscape is divided between prominent peaks and natural passages like Sunrise Pass, reflecting the area's use for both navigation and resource extraction.
