About this map

Laramie Peak dominates this section of the northern Front Range, serving as a primary navigational landmark within the Medicine Bow National Forest. The 1992 survey documents a landscape defined by its network of water sources and high-altitude terrain, including Squaw Peaks, Black Mountain, and the Haystack Peaks. Human activity is concentrated along the Esterbrook Road, leading to the small settlements of Esterbrook and Braae.

Lower elevations are marked by a complex drainage system where the Roaring Fork and South Fork feed into the broader basin. To the south, Friend Park provides a notable clear area amidst the timber, while the historic Horse and Pack Trail indicates traditional routes through the mountains. The map also delineates the boundary between Converse and Albany counties, which cuts through this rugged territory near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek.
