About this map

The Univ of Wyoming campus and the surrounding residential grids of Laramie dominate this 2017 study of Albany County's high-plains geography. The city's structure is defined by the Laramie River to the west and the expansive green spaces of Washington Park, Undine Park, and the Green Hill Cem. The map provides an intricate look at the local infrastructure, from the suburban interface of West Laramie to the distinctive industrial and ranching fringes where the Rock & A Hard Place Ranch Airport sits near the base of the Laramie Mountains.

Water management is central to this semi-arid landscape, evidenced by a network of catchments and natural springs such as Woodhouse Reservoir, Leah Reservoir, and Pope Springs. To the east, the terrain rises into the canyons and gulches that channel drainage toward the city, including Telephone Canyon and Government Gulch. These features, along with the detailed street names and Township-Range boundaries, offer a clear picture of the modern city's footprint within its older ranching and railroad context.
