The New Student's Reference Work/Laramie

Laramie, a river rising in northern Colorado and flowing northeast through southwestern Wyoming, enters the north fork of the Platte at Fort Laramie after a course of about 200 miles. It gives its name to a large county in Wyoming, to a plateau of 3,000 square miles in area and 7,000 feet in height, and to Laramie Mountains, bounding the plateau on the north and east.
