1992 Map of Lake Owen

About this map

Centennial Valley serves as a wide transition between the high peaks of the Medicine Bow National Forest and the lower river basins of Albany County. This 1992 revision, based on surveys from the late 1950s and late 1980s, documents a landscape where water management and transportation infrastructure define the terrain. The Aqueduct system cutting through the valley floor highlights the region's historical reliance on diverted water, while the Union Pacific rail line and Woods Landing Road provide the primary corridors for commerce and transit. Local history is anchored by markers like the Buckeye Sch and family-named landmarks like Iron Mtn. To the east, the dramatic rise of Sheep Mountain is navigated by the Sheep Mountain Trail, looking down over drainage systems such as Moonshine Gulch and Strain Creek that feed toward the Laramie River.
