2015 Map of Laramie Peak

About this map

Laramie Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Medicine Bow National Forest, marking a dramatic intersection of terrain and administrative boundaries. The survey follows the line between Converse and Albany counties, tracing a complex network of drainage systems including Horseshoe Cr and the Roaring Fork. This 2015 update illustrates how modern forest management roads like Esterbrook Rd and Friend Park Rd navigate the steep topography of the Laramie Range. Open meadows and high parks such as Kenyon Park and Cottonwood Park provide clearings between granite summits like Squaw Peaks and Black Mtn. The detailed hydrography reveals a radial drainage pattern from the central peaks, with Ashenfelder Cr and Saltlick Cr carving deep paths through the forest as they descend into the surrounding basins.
