2015 Map of King Mountain

About this map

The Laramie Mountains define the high-altitude landscape of this Albany County region, where legacy ranching routes and rugged drainage systems intersect. The presence of Old King Ranch Rd and King Mountain Rd suggests a history of overland travel and livestock operations, anchored by the prominent summit of King Mtn. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by Cashs Home Reservoir and the headwaters of N Fork Horse Cr. Local nomenclature reveals a history of family and place-based naming, from the depths of Katie Brown Canyon and Roger Canyon to the heights of Dirty Mtn and Sherman Hill. The name Schoolhouse Cr points toward the historical locations of early rural education centers that once served this high-country community.
