1992 Map of Maneater Creek

About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the foothills of the Laramie Mountains begin their ascent from the high plains. In the early 1990s, this area of Converse County remained characterized by isolated homesteads and ranching infrastructure, such as Raeber Ranch and Middleton Ranch, connected by the Upper Wagon Hound Road. The intricate drainage network of Wagon Hound Creek and La Bonte Creek defines the terrain, supported by early water management features like the George Nagle Ditch and Wagon Hound Ditch No 3. These irrigation systems speak to the long-standing efforts to sustain livestock in the arid Wyoming basin. Local history is anchored by the Wagon Hound Sch, a solitary educational landmark serving the dispersed population near Kenny and the Rogers Place.
