About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates this Wyoming landscape, where the Laramie River flows northward past a series of small, riverside settlements. This 1990s revision reveals the early 20th-century legacy of the area, including the small community of Woods Landing and the neighboring sites of New Jelm and Jelm. To the south, Boswell Ranch stands near the Blier and Boswell Ditch, indicating the importance of water management in this high-altitude terrain.

The topography is defined by significant elevations like Jelm Mountain and the area known as Chimney Park, which hosts the Chimney Park Camp. Numerous drainages, such as Fox Creek and Bear Creek, carve through the forest, while a Cem and the Pacific Union corridor provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Albany County's rural infrastructure.
