2017 Map of McGill Lakes

About this map

The Laramie River winds through this high-plains landscape in Albany County, where water management and historic transit routes define the terrain. The central drainage is punctuated by the McGill Bridge, a key crossing point for local ranching travel. This area showcases a complex network of surface water, including the sprawling Wheatland Reservoir Number Two along the eastern edge and the clustered McGill Lakes to the northwest. The historic Old Fort Fetterman Rd cuts across the western sections of the map, tracing a path that long served as a vital corridor through the Wyoming interior. Smaller water features such as Post Lake, Twin Lakes, and Spring Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that sustain the local livestock industry, while roads like Kite Ranch Rd and Round Top Rd connect the isolated ranching outposts of the region.
