About this map

Laramie Peak dominates the southern skyline of this mid-1980s topographical survey, marking a significant high point within the Medicine Bow National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and a complex network of high-altitude drainages, where Ashenfelder Creek and the South Roaring Fork carve through the granite terrain. The map illustrates the boundary between Converse and Albany counties as it traverses these peaks.

Evidence of human presence is sparse and seasonal, centered around natural openings in the timber like Friend Park and Kenyon Park. These open parklands, alongside numerous named peaks such as Squaw Peaks and Haystack Peaks, suggest a region primarily used for recreation and resource management. A single labeled Trail and several unimproved roads provide the only navigable access through this part of the Laramie Range.
