2023 Map of Lake Owen

About this map

Albany and the surrounding high country of the Medicine Bow Mountains define this landscape on the eastern edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The map captures a high-elevation environment where water management and ranching infrastructure meet the wilderness, evidenced by Sunby Reservoir and Sundby Reservoir Number 2. In the northern reaches, the Middle Fork Little Laramie River flows through the Centennial Valley, while the southern area is dominated by the prominence of Sheep Mtn and Iron Mtn. Local travel is dictated by routes such as Fox Creek Rd and Hecht Creek Rd, which connect isolated settlements like Woods Landing-Jelm to the surrounding drainage basins of Lake Owen Creek and the Laramie River. These forest and valley tracks provide a clear picture of the land use patterns and access points for the region.
