About this map

The high plains of Albany County are defined by a network of seasonal drainages and scattered ranching operations in this 2012 survey. Centered on the eponymous Pass Cr, the landscape is organized around critical water sources such as Dead Horse Spring and Bellmore Spring. The transportation network is sparse, consisting largely of unpaved routes like Holiday Rd and Marshall Rd that connect the isolated homesteads typical of this region.

Named ranching sites, including the C P Ranch, Curry Ranch, and Bennett Ranch, highlight the continued importance of livestock and land ownership in this part of Wyoming. These settlements are often tucked near natural features like Threemile Cr or Two Cabin Cr, which provide the lifeblood for rural operations. Local topography is marked by distinct depressions like Onemile Draw and the winding course of Davidson Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns of the northern Laramie Mountains area.
