2017 Map of Poison Lake

About this map

Emigrant Trl cuts across the northeastern corner of this Wyoming landscape, marking a corridor of historical movement through the high country of Converse County. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of La Bonte Cr and its tributaries, including the W Fork La Bonte Cr and Mill Cr. Near the center of the map, the Saddleback Reservoir sits within a basin of high ridges, while Poison Lake lies further northwest. The local transit infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along Esterbrook Rd and Braae Rd, which navigate the elevation changes near Manning Ridge. This 2017 survey reflects a modern view of a largely uninhabited ranching and watershed region, preserving the names of water sources and family-named landmarks like Braae and Manning that have long oriented travelers in this part of the Laramie Range foothills.
