2012 Map of School Section Mountain

About this map

School Section Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the Laramie Mountains. The map documents a working ranching environment, anchored by established sites such as Sims Ranch, Horr Cow Camp, and Comb Ranch. The drainage patterns are intricate, with W Fork La Bonte Cr and Rocky Ford Cr carving through terrain marked by deep features like Big Bear Canyon and West Fork Canyon. Water management is evident through the presence of the Hildebrand Ditch and Wagonhound Reservoir. High-country navigation is defined by Latham Pass and Chamberlain Pass in the northeast, while the southern reaches are accessed via La Bonte Rd and Fetterman Rd, indicating the historical transit corridors used to move livestock and supplies through this isolated portion of Albany County.
