2021 Map of Ragged Top Mountain

About this map

Ragged Top Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude drainage systems of the Laramie Range define this landscape on the border of Albany and Laramie Counties. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal and perennial waters, including Ricker Cr and the N Fork Horse Cr, which carve through the high-elevation terrain. Local water management is evidenced by the Alvie Number One Reservoir in the northwest, serving as a critical resource in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like Powell Mtn and Horse Mtn provide vertical relief and orient the traveler along rural routes such as Roger Canyon Rd. This survey documents the transition from the steep summits to the more gradual slopes associated with Schoolhouse Cr and Mill Cr, illustrating how the physical geography dictates the placement of early ranching roads like Bell Rd and Fisher Canyon Rd.
