2021 Map of Protsmans Knob

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest lands dominate the southern portion of this Converse County quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into the high drainage basins of the Laramie Range. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Little Deer Cr, Virden Cr, and Strawberry Cr, which carve through the high-elevation plateaus. The namesake Protsmans Knob stands as a prominent topographical landmark in the southwest, while Rocky Ridge and Mickey Gulch anchor the northeastern sector. Human activity is focused primarily along sparse corridors like Duck Creek Rd and Co RD 18, providing access to remote locations such as Mesa Spring and the open expanses of Duck Creek Flats. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of the Wyoming high country, where named draws and springs serve as critical markers for navigation and land management.
