About this map

The Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this section of the Wyoming landscape, where the Laramie River carves through the terrain as it flows past Reese Mountain. This 1968 survey, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a network of canyons and draws that define the local topography, including Luman Canyon and Ringrose Canyon. The presence of the Marble Quarry near Scranton Road indicates the industrial activity of the era, while named locations like Collins and Shapley point to the human geography of the region.

Water sources are vital markers on this map, ranging from Government Spring to the winding course of Duck Creek. The area is marked by distinctive elevations such as Notch Peak and Bills Mountain, providing a detailed look at the transition between the mountain forest and the river valley. The inclusion of Van Ortwick Hill Road and various trails highlights the historical access routes used by ranchers and foresters alike.
