1992 Map of Sherman Mountains East

About this map

Sherman Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Albany and Laramie Counties during the early 1990s. The region is primarily contained within the Medicine Bow National Forest, characterized by complex water systems like the Upper North Crow Reservoir and the headwaters of Middle Crow Creek. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade in the south provides a window into the area's transportation history, while the Hirsig (Site) marks a former human footprint in the mountains. Distinctive geological and recreational landmarks such as Vedauwoo Glen and the Devils Playground illustrate why this area transitioned into a major hub for outdoor activity, supported by the eastern edge of Curt Gowdy State Park. The map also details numerous family-named peaks, including Reynolds Hill and Egbert Hill, which serve as permanent markers of early ranching and homesteading history.
