2012 Map of Ragged Top Mountain

About this map

Ragged Top Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape, where the drainage systems of the Laramie Range define the local topography. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment centered on the Mckechnie Ranch along Horse Cr. The area is characterized by significant vertical relief, with Powell Mountain and Horse Mountain providing elevation between the branching waterways of Ricker Cr and the N Fork Horse Cr. Human activity is concentrated along established corridors like Roger Canyon Rd and Fisher Canyon Rd, while the Alvie Number One Reservoir in the northwest corner highlights the importance of water management in this arid cattle-country terrain.
