About this map

Laramie Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Medicine Bow National Forest, serving as a prominent landmark for the surrounding ranchlands and drainages. The 2012 survey illustrates a sparse settlement pattern defined by established livestock operations such as Sturgeon Ranch, Pickerall Ranch, and Atkinson Ranch. These family-named holdings are connected by a network of forest and county roads, including Esterbrook Rd and Cottonwood Park Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain.

Water sources are vital to this geography, with numerous drainages like the Roaring Fork and Ashenfelder Cr carving through the granite uplift. The presence of Friend Park Campground near the confluence of Friend Cr and Monday Cr highlights the area's transition from early ranching roots to contemporary recreational use. Other notable summits including Squaw Peaks, Haystack Peaks, and Black Mountain define the horizon, marking the varied elevations of this Wyoming wilderness.
