1955 Map of Poe Mountain

About this map

Poe Mountain and the surrounding Laramie Mountains landscape are defined here by a complex drainage network and early cattle ranching infrastructure. The map highlights the Sybille Game and Fish Experimental Unit along the Sybille Creek corridor, reflecting mid-century conservation efforts in Wyoming. Ranching history is central to this area, evidenced by the McGill Ranch near Little Halleck Creek and the Lucy Ranch located south of the North Sybille Creek. These family-named operations operated alongside local institutions like the Garton Sch. The terrain is characterized by deep canyons and prominent peaks, including Gold Hill, Yaunt Mountain, and Red Mountain, while water management is noted through features like Dover Reservoir No 2 and an Aband Canal in the northeast.
