2015 Map of McGill Lakes

About this map

The Laramie River winds through this high-plains landscape in Albany County, defining a complex riparian system that includes McGill Lakes and the expansive Wheatland Reservoir Number Two. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain shaped by water management and historic transit routes, most notably the Old Fort Fetterman Rd and Fetterman Rd, which track the high ground west of the river. Small water bodies like Post Lake, Twin Lakes, and the drainage of Spring Cr create a network of wetlands and seasonal flows across the northern and southern sections. The map shows a transition from historical trail corridors to modern rural infrastructure, anchored by the McGill Bridge crossing. Residential or ranch access is marked by an extensive grid of local roads with names like Sabel Palm Dr and High Plains Rd, illustrating the modern development patterns around these water features.
