About this map

Moonshine Peak and Government Peak define the high country of this Wyoming landscape, where the Laramie River cuts through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages, including Moonshine Gulch and Bradbury Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses such as Bluegrass Cr and Slate Cr. The boundary between Albany Co and Platte Co runs through the eastern portion of the map, following the ridgelines and canyons.

A network of remote access roads like Tunnel Rd and Government Peak Rd suggests a landscape utilized for ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement. The presence of White Head Canyon in the north and various creeks like Duck Cr and Cherry Cr illustrate a complex watershed system common to the foothills of the Laramie Mountains. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary view of these named geographic landmarks and the rural road infrastructure connecting them across the county line.
