1961 Map of Lake Owen

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Centennial Valley dominates the western half of this 1961 survey, where the Little Laramie River and its Middle Fork wind through the open ranching country of Albany County. The landscape is sharply divided by the steep ascent of Sheep Mountain to the east, much of which is protected within the Medicine Bow National Forest and a Federal Game Refuge. The high-altitude Lake Owen sits at the southern base of this range, serving as a primary water feature in a terrain cut by numerous drainages like Strain Creek and Hecht Creek. The presence of the Buckeye Sch and several Union Pacific railroad segments highlights the modest human infrastructure supporting the area's agricultural and transit history during the early 1960s, while surveyors utilized high points such as Iron Mtn and VABM Strain 8539 to map this complex Wyoming topography.
