2015 Map of Reese Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of the Laramie Mountains, where high-altitude drainages carve a complex network of canyons and draws. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising toward summits like Collins Peak and Reese Mtn. A rare thermal feature, the Restless Geyser, is located in the western portion of the quadrangle near the headwaters of Collins Creek. The drainage patterns here are intricate, with the Dry Laramie River cutting across the northern reaches while the Laramie River proper appears in the southeast corner. Local nomenclature is deeply tied to the land's hydrology and topography, as seen in named features like Three Sisters, Bills Mtn, and the winding Luman Creek Trl. From the seclusion of Palmer Canyon to the seasonal flow of Grizzly Creek, the map provides a look at a sparsely populated wilderness managed for its natural resources and timber.
