1981 Map of Laramie Peak

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, where the high point of Laramie Peak anchors a rugged expanse of the Laramie Range. The 1981 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching and mountain region defined by scattered settlements like Marshall, Esterbrook, and Garrett. The intricate network of headwaters, including the Little Medicine Bow River and the North Laramie River, carves through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of water in this arid environment. Significant geological and navigational landmarks such as Britannia Mountain, Mule Creek Pass, and Chimney Rock are meticulously documented, alongside smaller remote outposts like Toltec and Binford. This map provides an essential view of the eastern Wyoming backcountry before modern development, detailing the complex township and range boundaries that still govern the area's property and history.
