Converse

Among the regions of the United States, Converse stands out for its open Wyoming plains crossed by the North Platte River. Centered on Douglas, the county lies in rangeland country, with the Laramie Range rising to the south and west. Sagebrush flats and grazing lands give way to draws, cottonwoods and riverbanks, conveying the broad scale of southeastern Wyoming. Fort Fetterman, established by the U.S. Army in 1867 near the North Platte, recalls the era of frontier military posts and westward routes. Coal, oil and natural-gas production remain part of the area’s working identity alongside ranching. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Converse County.
