1992 Map of Warbonnet Peak

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, straddling the high-elevation boundary where Converse and Albany counties meet. The survey reveals a region defined by its drainage systems and mining history, notably including the Oriole Mine and the Old Copper King Mine in the northern reaches. Waterways such as La Prele Creek and Horse Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Warbonnet Peak and Squaw Mountain provide significant vertical relief. The presence of the H-V Ranch and the small settlement at La Prele indicate the sparse but established ranching footprint in this part of the Laramie Mountains. Topographic features like Chimney Ridge and Coverdale Basin suggest a complex geography where early resource extraction and grazing would have been the primary economic drivers.
