About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in the Laramie Mountains of Albany County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Mule Creek Mtn, Smith Mtn, and Flattop Mtn, which are linked by historic transit corridors like Fetterman Rd and Toltec Rd. The drainage network is complex, with headwaters for the N Laramie River, La Bonte Cr, and Deer Cr carving through the mountain slopes.

Water management and livestock history are evident in features such as Eggleston Reservoir and Joe Ditch near Pole Cr. High-country passes like Reed Pass and Mule Creek Pass mark the natural gaps utilized by early travelers and modern forest roads. The presence of Fortymile Spring near Fortymile Flat highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid, high-altitude environment during the early ranching and surveying eras.
